To His Honour The Honourable Harry Cockshutt,

Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario

May It Please Your Honour:

The undersigned has the honour to present to your Honour the Fifteenth
Annual Report of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario for the
fiscal year ending October 31st, 1922.

This Report covers all of the Commission's activities and also embodies
those of the municipal Electric Utilities operating in conjunction with the
various systems to supply electric service to the people of the Province. The
financial statements, the statistical data, and the general information herein
submitted have been so arranged and presented as to give the reader a ready and
intelligent grasp of every important feature of the Commission's operations.

The Report deals with the various operations of the Commission for the
past year with respect to 13 systems to which are connected 239 municipalities,
65 townships and rural districts and 51 industrial companies. The Report
also shows the cumulative results for the various periods during which operation
has been maintained.

No one taking a broad outlook on world conditions can fail to be impressed
with the difficulties which still beset general commercial and industrial advance-
ment. European markets, especially, have been unable to resume their normal
importations, and this has had its effect upon Canadian manufactured and
agricultural products. There have been circumstances in the great Republic
to the south which, of late, have been unfavourable with respect to our exports
to this important market. Obviously, such circumstances have contributed to
a curtailment in the growth of the demand for electrical energy for power pur-
poses. No review of the last year's operations of an organization such as the
Hydro-Electric Power Commission can properly be appraised without taking
cognizance of the important factors referred to. It is a gratification to
know, however, that, notwithstanding all such adverse factors, the Commission's
operations during the past year have been the most successful in its history.

It is most gratifying to the Commission to be able to report that the increase
in revenue in the municipalities in the Niagara district was sufficient to carry
the Queenston-Chippawa development without the necessity, with but very
few exceptions, of having to increase the rates to consumers.

In reviewing the results of the year's work there are two aspects of the
Commission's operations which should clearly be distinguished, namely, the
relationship of the Commission to the municipalities and the relationship of the
municipalities to their customers. This statement deals particularly with the
operations of the Commission with the municipalities, with respect to which
the total revenue for the year was $7,893,979.41, while the cost of service, made
up of the cost of power, operation, maintenance, administration and interest,
was $7,102,737.09, and the necessary sinking fund and reserves for renewals
and contingencies amounted to $947,062.06, making a total of $8,049,799.15.
As is its custom, the Commission at the beginning of the year determined a
schedule of rates to cover the estimated cost of service to all municipalities.
After meeting all obligations in accordance with Section 23 of the Power Com-

iii

iv FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

mission Act, the expenditures and reserves exceeded the revenue by $155,819. 74,
or 1 . 97 per cent. This amount was billed to the municipalities and taken up
in their operation and balance sheets, so that the Commission's balance sheet
with the municipalities shows neither profit nor loss.

A summary of the financial operations of the Commission with the muni-
cipalities comprising the various systems is presented under the respective
systems as follows:

NIAGARA SYSTEM

While the actual cost of development, transmission and administration
exceeded the estimates on which the interim rates were based, by $307,257.73,
this deficit has been billed to the municipalities and absorbed in their operating
costs. After absorbing this deficit, the municipal accounts show a gross sur-
plus from the year's operation of $1,006,444.62 and a net surplus of $406,330.40,
after providing for $600,114.22 depreciation.

On the Niagara system there were only thirteen municipalities that showed
an actual deficit during the year, totalling $21,416.07 out of a total gross
revenue of $10,407,875.83.

During the year, several serious accidents occurred in the Ontario Power
Company's generating station and in the Queenston-Chippawa generating
station. These circumstances necessitated some of the generators being laid
up for repairs for an extended period, and this, in turn, necessitated the pur-
chase of a considerable quantity of electrical power to supply the requirements
of the Niagara system, — a fact which materially increased the cost of power
supplied to the municipalities in this system.

During the past year there has been a gradual increase, both in the number
of customers supplied on the Niagara system and also in the loads supplied to
the various municipalities.

SEVERN SYSTEM

The Severn system is supplied from the Big Chute development on the
Severn river, with arrangements for auxiliary supply from the Eugenia system,
the Wasdells system and the Orillia plant at Ragged rapids. This system
supplied seventeen municipalities and one rural power district, located south of
Georgian bay and west of lake Simcoe.

The municipal records show a net surplus from the year's operation of
$46,996.62 after providing for the full amount of the depreciation. One small
village showed a deficit of $107.25; all the other municipalities have a credit
balance on the system's operation.

EUGENIA SYSTEM

The Eugenia system is supplied with power from a generating plant located
at Eugenia falls on the Beaver river, about twelve miles south of Georgian
bay, and serves twenty-three municipalities and two rural power districts in the
surrounding district.

The actual cost of development and operation was $22,915.02 less than the
estimates on which the interim rates were based, and the municipalities oper-
ated with a net surplus for the year of $40,098.58, after providing for the full
amount of the depreciation.

The increase in the power requirements of the municipalities on this system
has made it necessary for the Commission to investigate the installation of a
second pipe line in order to increase the capacity of the generating plant.

1923 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION

WASDELLS SYSTEM

The Wasdells system, with a generating plant located at Wasdells falls, on
the Severn river, supplies eight villages and two industrial loads located west
of lake Simcoe; two villages being added to the system during the past year.

The actual cost of power during the year was $5,288.53 less than the estim-
ates on which the interim rates were based, and the municipalities operated
with a net surplus of $11,049.36 after providing for the full amount of the
depreciation.

The only municipal deficit was in one village which had operated for only
two months and the loss was something less than $100.00.

MUSKOKA SYSTEM

The Muskoka system is supplied from a development at High falls, on the
Muskoka river, and serves the municipalities of Huntsville and Gravenhurst.

These municipalities absorbed the actual cost of power and operated with
a net surplus during the year of $2,627.95 after providing for the full
amount of the depreciation.

ST. LAWRENCE SYSTEM

The St. Lawrence system serves the district immediately to the north of
the St. Lawrence river, between Brockville and Cornwall; the supply of power
for the system being purchased from the Cedar Rapids Transmission Company ;
the power being delivered at a point near Cornwall.

The increased load on the system has made it necessary, during the year,
to construct additional lines and make other necessary changes, so that
power is now transmitted over the system at 44,000 volts instead of 22,000
volts, as formerly.

The municipalities forming this system operated during the year with a
net surplus of $23,739.92 after providing for the full amount of the depreciation.

RIDEAU SYSTEM

The Rideau system serves the district in the vicinity of Smiths Falls, Perth
and Carleton Place; power being supplied for the system from a Hydro-electric
development at High Falls, on the Mississippi river, from the Carleton Place
generating plant, and, also, with power purchased from the Rideau Power
Company.

All of the municipalities on this system operated at a profit; the. total for
the year amounting to $25,592.07 after providing for the full amount of the
depreciation.

THUNDER BAY SYSTEM

The Thunder Bay system is located north of lake Superior and is supplied
with power from a power development constructed by the Commission on the
Nipigon river, approximately sixty miles from the city of Port Arthur.

Owing to circumstances over which the Commission had no control, some
of the loads it was expected to supply from this plant during the year did not
materialize, and, in consequence, the amount at which the municipality of Port
Arthur was billed for power during the year was not sufficient to meet all of
the charges on the development. The Nipigon plant, it will be recalled, was

vi FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT No. 49

installed with sufficient capacity' to supply the power requirements of large pulp
and paper undertakings which all evidences indicated would, in the near future,
be established in this district.

In 1922, negotiations with a large pulp and paper company had reached
the stage where a contract for a large block of power will, probably, be signed
early in the coming year. With this large additional load on the system, it
will, in a few years, be on a self-supporting basis without the necessity of
increasing the rate at which the municipality of Port Arthur is now being
billed for power.

During the year, the municipality of Port Arthur has been billed for the
load taken at a rate of $25.00 per horsepower and the cost of operation in excess
of this rate is being carried forward as a charge against the future operation of
this system.

CENTRAL ONTARIO SYSTEM

This system was purchased by the Government of the Province from the
former owners, the Electric Power Co., Ltd., on March 1, 1916. Since June 1,
1916, it has been operated continuously by the Hydro-Electric Power Commis-
sion of Ontario, as trustees for the Province, and serves the district lying between
Whitby and Kingston.

An additional power development was constructed at Ranney falls on the
Trent river, to supply the growing demand for power. This plant was placed
in operation in August, 1922, and adds 10,000 horsepower to the capacity of the
system.

The financial results of the operations for the past year were satisfactory.
The revenue was sufficient to meet all costs of operation, all interest charges and
to provide the full required increments of reserves for renewals, contingencies,
and sinking fund on that portion of the investment for which sinking fund pro-
vision is required. Total accumulated reserves now amount to $1,217,980.25.

Gratifying improvement has been made in the financial position of local
utilities such as gas plants, waterworks system and street railway.

Those interested in the work of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission will
find its various operations fully set forth in the extensive tables which comprise
this Report. A review of the various data will disclose many interesting
features. Thus, by way of illustration, the automatic reduction in the deben-
ture debt, due to the annual principal or sinking fund payments being provided
for out of revenue, and the remarkable accumulation of assets, reflect the satis-
factory financial condition of the Hydro utilities generally. The tabular state-
ment on page 295 shows in condensed form the relation of assets to liabilities in
fifty municipalities. In the first eighteen municipalities the quick assets such as
cash, bonds, accounts receivable and inventories exceed in value the total liabil-
ities, including the debenture balance, and they may be considered as
being out of debt. In the remaining thirty-two municipalities the excess of
liabilities over the quick assets is relatively so small that a number of them will
be transferred to the "out-of-debt" list when the books are closed at the end
of 1923.

RIGHT-OF-WAY AND LANDS

Rural Power Lines

The construction of rural power lines to supply electrical energy to farmers
has been proceeded with quite actively during the past year, and while in general
the municipalities in which the lines have been constructed have taken care of
pole and tree trimming rights, yet there have been quite a number of cases in
which the services of an agent of the Right-of-Way have been required to arrange
necessary settlements.

The procedure followed by the department when the construction of rural
or other lines, upon public highways, has been decided upon is to communicate
with the authorities controlling the roads or highways upon which it is proposed
to locate lines, viz.: provincial highways, county provincial roads, suburban
roads, county roads, or ordinary municipal roads, and arrange for the consent
and co-operation of these authorities in the location of these lines. This course
has worked out very satisfactorily and has prevented any friction between
the authorities controlling the different classes of roads and the Commission,
and especially in the case of roads controlled by the provincial Department
of Highways.

During the year a settlement has been arranged with that department
as to the cost of moving poles on roads which have been taken over by that
department since the construction of pole lines upon them.

Rural lines have been constructed or arrangements made for such con-
struction in the following townships:

Augusta, Bertie, Blenheim, Brantford, Charlottenburg, Caradoc, Chatham,
Clinton, Dover, East Flamboro', East Zorra, Edwardsburgh, Flos,
Grantham, Harwich, Kingston, London, Louth, Maidstone, Markham,
North Dumfries, Nottawasaga, Oro, Orford, Rochester, Saltfleet,
Sandwich West, Sarnia, Scarboro', Stamford, Stephen, Sunnidale,
Thorold, Toronto, West Oxford, Willoughby, Vaughan.

Toronto and Niagara Power Company

The work of investigating the titles of the various properties owned by
this and associated companies which came over in the "Clean Up" deal, and
of transferring the same, was completed during the year.

In this connection a number of properties necessary for terminal facilities
in connection with the Metropolitan railway at North Toronto were acquired
for the Toronto and York Radial railway.

Wasdells Falls

All the claims, some thirteen in number, for flooding lands in connection
with this development, were settled during the year to the satisfaction of
claimants.

FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

Queenston — Hamilton High-Tension Line

Nearly all of the outstanding right-of-way requirements for this line were
secured during the year. It was found necessary to purchase a number of
properties in this connection in the town of Grimsby and in the outskirts of
St. Catharines where subdivisions had been made. Arrangements also had
to be made to move a number of buildings from the right-of-way.

The construction of this line further rendered it necessary to settle a large
number of claims for damages, especially in the fruit growing districts.

An additional parcel of land was also secured for the extension of the
Hamilton station site.

Negotiations have also been carried on with the City Council of Hamilton
and with the Parks and Harbour Boards of that city for the right to cross Bur-
lington bay with this line in order to connect with a previously constructed
line in the township of East Flamboro'.

Low-Tension Lines

In addition to the rural-power and high-tension lines referred to, considerable
work has been carried on in connection with low-tension work for the purpose
of supplying power to a number of the smaller urban municipalities.

The principal lines on which work was carried on in this connection were :

1. In the town of Trenton

2. In the town of Bowmanville

3. At Binkley's Corners

4. Teeswater to Kinloss

5. Balderson to Lanark

6. Morrisburg to Prescott

7. Brockville to Eugene Phillips' Plant

8. Preston to Kitchener

9. York Station to Islington

10. Grimsby to Beamsville

11. Dundas to Copetown

18. Petrolia to Waterworks

19. Fletcher to Merlin

20. Cannington to Greenbank

21. Greenbank to Port Perry and Uxbridge.

Nipissing Development

In connection with the proposed development on the South river it was
found necessary to acquire a number of parcels of land for flooding purposes.

Hanover Quarries

During the year the Commission disposed of the stone quarries in the
township of Brant and of the Spur Line railway connecting this property with

1923 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 5

the Grand Trunk railway. Hanover Stone and Cement, Limited, were the
purchasers.

A number of other properties no longer required by the Commission were
also disposed of.

Miscellaneous

The number of transactions carried to completion by the Department
during the year is as follows :

Number of parcels of land purchased 51

Number of tower easements and overhang rights secured 128

Number of pole easements secured 83

Number of anchor agreements secured 98

Number of tree trimming agreements secured 169

Number of damage claims settled 181

SECTION II

TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS
NIAGARA SYSTEM

The principal work in hand at the beginning of the year was the develop-
ment of the 110, 000- volt lines of the Niagara system so as to connect the
Queenston generating station with the existing lines and to provide for the
delivery of the electrical energy from this new plant at points in the Province
where the demand was increasing most rapidly. The loads of the Toronto and
Hamilton districts required the most attention. During the year the tie line
from Queenston generating station to the 110,000-volt trunk lines between
Niagara Falls and Dundas was completed and put in operation. This line is
now carrying 200,000 horsepower or more.

The new trunk line from Queenston generating station by way of Burlington
Beach, to a point of intersection with the existing trunk lines between Dundas
and Toronto, north of Burlington, has been completed as far as the new 110,000-
volt station at East Hamilton and is in operation.

Negotiations have been carried on practically throughout the year regarding
the right-of-way in the vicinity of Burlington Beach and along the streets and
on public property in the city of Hamilton. These negotiations are still active
and no construction work has been carried out on this section of line.

An appropriation has been made for preliminary work on a trunk line at
110,000 volts from Queenston generating station to the St. Thomas district.

The study of the transmission line network in the vicinity of Niagara Falls
and Queenston in connection with these and other radiating lines brought out
very clearly during the year the necessity for some co-ordinated scheme for
such lines as they become more numerous in the various districts. A study of
the situation also leads to the conclusion that provision should be made for
the transportation of electrical energy in the same right-of-way as is already
used for the transportation of goods and vehicular traffic. Some progress
has been made in this connection in that two or three municipalities have adopted
the principle of one-way traffic on pavements, and have approved of the carrying
of steel structures along the boulevard or planting strip in the centre of a right-
of-way 66 feet or more in width. In this they follow a practice common in
foreign countries and one whose underlying principle has led to the development
of the sketch, reproduced herewith, which indicates the possibilities of carrying
a paved roadway or preferably one or more suburban trolley tracks within the
tower area by erecting piers for the support of the tower at each side of the
tracks or roadway. In the case of the trolley lines, this has a particular ad-
vantage, since the width of the boulevard or railway right-of-way from curb
to curb must be sufficient to provide for loading platforms. The piers for the
towers may either alternate with these loading platforms, which have a spacing
of 500 to 700 feet, or may be used as supports for a small loading platform as
indicated.

8 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

In order not to spoil good farm land and make it non-productive and a
menace on account of weeds, tower rights were arranged and the towers erected
in such a way as to interfere very little with the. agricultural operations. The
cut reproduced herewith and described as tower No. 117, shows a tree growing
within the base of the tower. This indicates what may be done in this connection.

The cut of a semi-anchor tower, 3 degree angle, indicates standard practice
at small angles for the Queenston-Burlington trunk line which is operated
at 110,000 volts and which has a rated capacity of 50,000 horsepower per circuit.

The cut marked "New Welland Ship Canal Crossing," shows another
section of this line. The conductors are 150 feet above the water. The tower
in the foreground is 205 feet high.

Considerable alterations have been made in the grounded wire equipment
throughout the system. As a result of interruptions to the 110,000-volt system
on account of sleet storms during the year, it was decided that, where possible,
all but one, and in some cases all, of these grounded protective wires should be
removed from the steel towers, since their efficiency as protective equipment
could not readily be measured and was therefore problematical, and since the
failure of these ground wires accounts for a very large proportion of the inter-
ruptions. This work was completed during the year.

In order to reduce materially the length of time taken to get a system
covering several hundred miles of territory back into service after it has been
once interrupted, a considerable study of the communication systems to serve
these power lines was made and wireless communication of various types was
adopted during the year. Guided wave wireless has been given some attention.
By this method emanations from an aerial paralleling the power wires for a
short distance near the station are transferred to the power conductors. These
are carried on these wires to some point where they are collected inductively
on another receiving aerial. Several stations of this type have been installed
and are giving fair satisfaction.

In order to increase the range and to eliminate the possibility of inter-
ruption of communication of this sort with power lines, standard radio distri-
buting stations are being installed at a number of the more important stations.

In addition to construction work, a great deal of attention was given the
purchase of the Toronto and Niagara Power Company and allied organizations
by the Commission. This purchase involved a great deal of detail work,
including surveys, checking up of locations and examination of suitability of
the properties presented for the structures and lines involved.

EUGENIA SYSTEM

Considerable difficulty was experienced throughout this system in securing
undertakings for the cost of revising lines where highway work interfered with
the transmission structures. The line entrances and switching structures were
revised at some of the stations, including Hanover.

WASDELLS SYSTEM

About 40 miles of low- tension lines were built during the year, the principal
extension being in the Wasdells system to the south so as to serve municipalities
in the vicinity of Uxbridge and Port Perry. Apart from these lines, the ex-
tensions were short and were installed largely to serve customers already located
near the lines.

MUSKOKA SYSTEM

River crossings were revised and improved on this system, and a con-
siderable investigation was undertaken, co-operating with the Bell Telephone
Company in an effort to reduce materially the inductive interference of the
district.

ST. LAWRENCE SYSTEM

A considerable change was undertaken in the St. Lawrence system, where
the transmission voltage has been changed from 26,400 to 44,000 volts. ij-A
small extension has been made at this voltage in Brockville so as to serve a
large power consumer at that point. This revision is still receiving attention
as the method of transmission is interfering more than ordinarily with the
operation of communication circuits in the vicinity.

RIDEAU SYSTEM

Provision for additional distribution circuits on existing construction,
revision of some of the air-break switches and special arrangements for the
connecting in of a stone-crushing plant covers the work carried out during the
year on this system.

THUNDER BAY SYSTEM

The cut marked "Switching Tower at Sibley" shows the switching structure

CENTRAL ONTARIO AND TRENT SYSTEM

After much negotiation with private owners and with the Department of
Railways and Canals, a connection was made from the new Ranney Falls
development to the 44,000-volt lines of the system.

NIPISSING SYSTEM

Preliminary steps have been taken during the year for reduction of inductive
interference and for lines to connect up proposed developments.

GENERAL

The restringing of a number of the low-tension circuits so as to provide
larger conductor on account of increased loads and so as to eliminate conductors
which are found to be of too low tensile strength is proceeding satisfactorily,
several lines having been changed during the year.

In Appendix II. will be found tables relating to the different lines and
systems built and operated by the Commission, or purchased from others.

The tabulation of lines as found in previous Annual Reports has been
revised and brought up to date.

It is interesting to note in connection with these records that there are
considerably more than 3,000 miles of structures now operating, exclusive of
the rural districts, and that some 7,000 tons of conductor have been strung by
the Commission, exclusive of the rural districts and purchases. Approximately
one-half of this tonnage is strung on the 110,000-volt steel structures of the
Niagara system.

DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS

At the end of Appendix II, will be found a number of tabular statements
giving the details of Rural and of Municipal Distribution Systems, Distribution
Feeders and Metering Stations constructed, or under construction, by the
Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario up to October 31, 1922. The work
of rural distribution was initiated consequent on the passing of "The Rural
Hydro-Electric Distribution Act, 1921," which came into force on June 1, 1921.
An amending Act — assented to June 13, 1921 — was passed dealing only with
questions appertaining to the financing of works constructed before or since
June 1, 1921. The amending Act is given in Appendix I of this Report.

12 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. *9

SECTION III

OPERATION OF THE SYSTEMS

The past year's operation of the various systems owned or controlled by
the Commission has been marked by a great increase in the load. As will be
seen from reference to the load curves given in this section, the increase has
been general, occurring on most systems, and being particularly rapid during
the latter part of the year.

While this increase in the load is encouraging and gratifying in many
ways, it has in some respects added materially to the difficulties of operation,
demanding constant vigilance on the part of the operating staff to see that no
class of equipment in the numerous stations became overloaded. It made
efficient operation essential, especially in the generating plants where the demand
for power frequently threatened to exceed the generating capacity, while at the
same time it increased the difficulty of getting apparatus out of service long
enough for inspection, adjustment and necessary repairs. Increasing load
also affected voltage regulation, demanding constant attention and adjustment.
These problems have been common to nearly all systems, and the operating
staff has had a busy year, although the innumerable details of the work cannot
be given in a report of this nature. In the following sub-sections, dealing
with the various systems, only outstanding events or changes materially affecting
the operation of the system are reported.

As an illustration of the narrow margin of generating capacity over load
within which the operating staff has been obliged to operate, the case of the first
generator at Queenston may be mentioned. This unit, after short runs for
testing and adjusting, was first placed in commercial, continuous service on
January 26, at 3.08 a.m. On January 27, ice trouble at the plants of the Ontario
Power Company and Canadian-Niagara Power Company reduced the amount
of power available from these sources below the amount necessary to supply
the demand, so that it was necessary to load the Queenston generator to full
capacity. Had the Queenston unit not been available, it would have been neces-
sary to restrict the supply of power to consumers. Somewhat similar conditions
prevailed throughout the season, though not on such a close margin. Reference
to the graph for Queenston load shows that the plant was called upon to meet
greater demands each month that an additional generator became available,
these demands approximating the full capacity of the generators, although the
Ontario Power Company and the Toronto Power Company continued to carry
full load, as shown by the load curves for those plants. From this it will be
evident how. closely the demand for power followed the increased generating
capacity, how essential it was that no delay occurred in the construction or
completion of additional generating capacity, and how difficult it was to take
equipment out of service for maintenance work.

Reference to the table showing total power generated and capacity of all
plants will show that the demand for power on other systems, besides the Niagara,
has closely approached or exceeded the normal generating capacity, leaving
little margin for operating contingencies or further increase of load, and rendering
careful operation and maintenance of equipment vitally important.

In spite of the problems presented by the large increase in demand for
power, and the difficulties under which the operating staff laboured, as efficient
and continuous service has been given as was possible under the circumstances,
and the year's operation on the whole has been very satisfactory.

Referring to the graphs showing the power demand on the various systems,
it will be observed that the load rose more rapidly after August. The coal
famine undoubtedly played a part in this increase, and electric heaters did much
to relieve the situation where fuel was not obtainable, but it is impossible to
determine just how much of the increase can be ascribed to this cause. Though
the fact is not so evident from first inspection of the load curves, due to the
usual dropping off in load during the summer months, a study of load con :
ditions reveals that during July and August, when electricity .would not be
required for heating, there was on most systems a remarkable increase in the
demand for power over the amounts required in the same months of the previous
year. The Niagara system shows an increase of over 30,000 horsepower for
July and August as compared with the same months of the preceding year,
an increase of about 18 per cent; the Central Ontario system, the next largest,
shows a growth of over 5,000 horsepower in the same months, or about 24 per
cent increase; the Ottawa system, 23 per cent; the combined Northern systems,
16 per cent; the Muskoka system, 24 per cent; the Rideau system, 45 per cent;
and the Nipissing system, 10 per cent. Due to special conditions, such as large
power customers, the St. Lawrence system shows a slight decrease during these
months, and the Thunder Bay system only a slight increase. It is evident,
therefore, that the growth of load cannot be ascribed, except in a small part,
to the abnormal conditions arising out of the coal shortage. It is appropriate
here to remark that published statistics and curves representing comparative
employment conditions in Canada, show a rapid rise in the number of persons
employed during the latter part of the year 1922 ; and also that the curve of employ-
ment and the load curves for most systems resemble each other in the steep
rise which is manifest towards the end of the year. It is natural that there
should be some relation between general industrial conditions and the demand
for power. This is interesting in connection with the operation of hydro-electric

14 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

plants because it indicates that the increase in power requirements during 1922
is due to an improvement in business conditions, and further that if this improve-
ment increases, a still greater supply of power will be required and thus make
heavier demands upon electrical stations and equipment.

Below is given a table of all the generating stations controlled ,by the
Commission, showing their total output for the year, and also showing the total
power purchased. This table shows the immense amount of power being
handled by the Commission, making it one of the largest power organizations
in the world — the largest for which figures are at present available.

In view of the stress which has resulted from coal shortage it is of interest
to consider what would have been the effect on the people of the province of
Ontario if it had been necessary to generate from coal the immense amount of
power produced in hydro-electric plants as shown by the table below. The
determination of what would have been the exact amount of coal thus required
would depend upon a variety of governing circumstances, but undoubtedly
several millions of tons of additional coal would have been required. This
coal could not have been obtained without encroaching upon the coal required
for other necessary purposes. The demand for such a large additional amount
of coal would, inevitably, have added a serious burden to the people of this
Province, and, further, would have entailed the sending out of the country of
very large sums of money and placed a load upon railway equipment already
taxed beyond its capacity. In fact the extra coal could not have been trans-
ported without seriously interfering with the transport of other commodities.

In the following table, a column is given headed, "Normal Operating
Capacity." The capacity of a plant may be given on bases which differ widely,
so that a few words of explanation seem advisable in case differences are noted
between figures given in this table and others which may appear in other sections
of this report. Manufacturer's rating, or nameplate rating, is most generally
quoted in this connection. Generators and electrical equipment are now usually
rated in kv-a, and existing power factor or an estimated power factor must be
taken into the calculation in order to express same in horsepower. In some
cases manufacturer's rating is given in kw., but this is based on an arbitrarily
assumed figure for power factor, ranging from 80 per cent to 100 per cent,
and consequently the horsepower ratings may differ widely for similar machines.
Moreover, the capacity of the turbines, transformers, or other equipment, may
affect the total for the plant. Again, the actual available capacity may be con-
siderably less than figures on the above basis, due to special conditions such as
equipment out of order, insufficient water and various temporary conditions.
We have, therefore, selected the normal operating capacity as applying more
uniformly to the various types of generators and plants, and indicating more
correctly the power actually available under normal conditions. It is to be
understood that this table does not give the maximum capacity of the plants,
nor the output possible for short periods or under unusually favourable con-
ditions.

The capacity given for the Ontario Power Company plant is exclusive of
the two disabled generators, although these were available during the first part
of the year. The peak load for the year occurred at this plant when all sixteen
generators were in service.

The totals given for the peak loads are the arithmetical sums of the indi-
vidual peaks, without any allowance for diversity.

16 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

NIAGARA SYSTEM

The most notable and outstanding feature in the operation of the Niagara
system during the year ended October 31, 1922, was the placing in operation
of the Queenston plant, the first unit of 60,000 horsepower being placed in
commercial service January 26, 1922. The second unit of similar capacity was
available March 16, the third unit on October 3, but even with this large block
of additional power the Commission is barely able to meet the demand of the
municipalities. The increase in the system demand was most remarkable, and
it was very fortunate for the Niagara System municipalities and customers
that the Queenston plant was available for their demands. The operation of
the plant was most satisfactory considering the existing conditions in that a
great amount of construction work was being carried on all the year.

Early in November, 1921, arrangements were completed with the Niagara
Falls Power Company to supply the output of two machines, totalling 8,400
kilowatts, to the Commission's Niagara station, and this capacity was available
for the Niagara System demands on November 13, 1921. At this time the
entire available supply from the Niagara plants was in use, and it was fortunate
for the Hydro customers that conditions on the United States' side of the line
were such that the Commission was able to secure this additional capacity.
This supply was discontinued on February 2, 1922, since the No. 1 Queenston
unit had been placed in service a few days previously.

The supply of power to the Commission's Niagara step-up station from the
Ontario Power Company was most satisfactory, although it was necessary for
a short period following trouble at the Ontario Power Company plant on April
20, 1922, to obtain 8,400 kilowatts from the Niagara Falls Power Company.

Due to the winter of 1921-22 being fairly moderate, the Canadian Niagara
Power Company did not experience extensive trouble from ice conditions,
and thus the Commission's supply of power to the Niagara step-up station
from that source was practically constant and continuous.

During the year power was supplied to the main 110,000-volt switching
station at Dundas 99.923 per cent, of the total time, and had it not been for the
severe sleet and ice storms of February 22 and March 31, the outage would
have been practically nil. The storm of February 22 and 23 hit the 110,000-volt
lines between Niagara and Dundas, practically all the lines in the Dundas,
Guelph, Preston, Kitchener, Stratford, St. Marys, Brantford and Woodstock
districts, and to a lesser extent the lines in the London district, while the St.
Thomas, Chatham and Windsor districts escaped intact. The storm was the
worst in the history of the Commission up to that time, and the damage caused
to power and communication circuits was very extensive. The storm of March
31 exceeded in severity that of February 22, causing damage to towers, poles
and conductors proportionately greater. Following so closely on the February
22 storm, before the repairs made necessary by that storm had been completed
and covering much the same territory, the storm was much the worst ever
experienced by the Commission in its twelve years of operation. Old operating
men report they can recall no occasion when the ice conditions approached
those experienced at this time in the districts involved.

During the year sixty-four electrical storms were experienced on fifty-two
days, the first occurring on February 19, and the last on October 10. Sixteen
of the storms were of a general nature, traversing the entire system, while five

were very severe. The fact that very little equipment was damaged during
the lightning season shows quite conclusively that the lightning protection
installed on the system was equal to the task of relieving the system of dangerous
voltage surges.

In anticipation of increased demands on a number of our transformer
stations, extensive changes have been carried out and the transformer capacity
increased. At London high-tension station a bank of three 5,000-kv-a. trans-
formers replaced a bank of three 2,500-kv-a. units; at Guelph high-tension
station the 2,500-kv-a. bank from London replaced a 1,250-kv-a. bank; at Preston
high-tension station a 1,250-kv-a. bank replaced a 750-kv-a. bank and the 6,600-
volt distribution from this point was discontinued in favour of 13,200-volt
distribution; at Kent high-tension station a bank of three 2,500-kv-a. trans-
formers replaced the bank of three 1,250-kv-a. transformers; at Essex high-
tension station the capacity was increased by the addition of a bank of three
5,000-kv-a. transformers.

The first 110, 000- volt out-door type station, with an initial capacity of
15,000 kv-a. was successfully placed in commercial service on October 8, 1922.
This station is located in the east end of Hamilton and supplies a portion of the
Hamilton load.

Changes in transformer capacity were made at a number of distributing
stations as follows: The 75-kv-a. transformer at Milverton station was replaced
with a 150-kv-a. bank; at Oil Springs, one 150-kv-a. three-phase transformer
replaced one 75-kv-a. three-phase unit; at Watford one 150-kv-a. three phase
transformer replaced one 50-kv-a. three-phase unit.

The load supplied from the Mimico station was transferred to the Etobi-
coke station and the Mimico station abandoned for the present.

The Dominion Sugar Company station, Saltfleet station, the Streetsville
Lumber Company station, and the Gait, Preston & Hespeler Railway station
at Preston, were satisfactorily placed in service, and power was supplied Port
Dover, Brantford Sand & Gravel Company, Alvinston and Thedford from
existing substations.

The line maintenance field force has been actively engaged in carrying out
the numerous routine duties necessary in the maintenance and upkeep of hun-
dreds of miles of transmission lines of varying voltages and capacities. These
lines are all patrolled at stated intervals and minor repairs effected by the
patrolmen who are located at suitable points on the system. Considerable
tree trimming is carried on during the early spring and on all lines along the
provincial highways the trimming is done under the supervision of the Pro-
vincial Forester. During the summer months the insulation of a number of
the 110,000-volt lines was checked, this involving the testing of 162,918 units,
of which 1.8 per cent, proved defective and were replaced. A considerable staff
was employed in carrying out changes and revisions to low-tension feeders
brought about by Provincial Highway construction, and in effecting repairs to
lines damaged during the ice storms of February 22, and March 31. The double
circuiting of the 110,000-volt lines from Dundas to Kitchener was completed
early in the year. The work of removing all ground cable from the 110,000-volt
lines, with the exception of one cable carried on the peak of the tower, and the
reinforcing of the loops on the 110,000-volt lines between Niagara and Toronto
has been actively pressed and it is expected to have same completed early in
the coming year.

The station maintenance field staff have been fully employed in maintaining
the many Commission properties and buildings with their equipment necessary

ONTARIO POWER COMPANY

The favourable weather during last winter enabled the Ontario Power
Company plant to be operated with little or no interference from ice and no
serious curtailment of power was occasioned at any time. However, the usual
preparations for the maintenance of equipment damaged by ice were made,
although fortunately not required.

By improvements in the system of heating at the forebay a saving of over
40 tons of coal was made during the winter. Enough in fact to make it unneces-
sary to purchase any coal at all during the current year, the balance on hand
being sufficient to rneet the anticipated use for the winter of 1922-1923.

The method of disposing of ice in the screen house during the winter months
has been greatly improved by the erection of a curtain wall which cuts off heavy
cross current at the ice disposal chute. The quantity of ice that can now be
handled has been increased many times and the labour formerly required has
been almost entirely eliminated. The cost of these improvements has been
very small and the entire expense saved in one month's operation. Experience
to date has shown that the improved ice disposal chute will not only decrease
the cost of handling ice during the winter months but will eliminate most of the
ice that formerly could not be prevented from passing through the turbines.

On April 20, an accident totally destroyed No. 15 generator, badly wrecked
No. 16 unit and occasioned the temporary shut-down of four other machines
in the plant. Following a heavy short-circuit, No. 15 generator water wheel
ran away and attained a speed at which the generator rotor burst. A com-
prehensive and thorough investigation has shown beyond reasonable doubt
that the cause of the failure of the generator was defective castings in the rotor
rims. The generator, which had been purchased on the most exacting specifica-
tions and which was built during the recent war, was designed to withstand a
runaway speed about 10 per cent in excess of the maximum speed of the water
wheel, but due to the failure of the rim castings to meet requirements, it went to
pieces. The bursting of No. 15 generator caused the collapse of the roof trusses,-
bringing down the heavy concrete roof, which knocked a large piece from the
turbine casing of this unit, allowing water to be discharged into the power house
for about four minutes. The prompt closing of the main penstock vatve on the
damaged turbine prevented the entire power house 'from being flooded, and
showed conclusively that a valve of modern design could be closed safely and
quickly with practically free discharge through a penstock 10 ft. 6 in. in dia-
meter. The generator that failed was not tested to runaway speed when first
installed in 1919 due to load conditions which made such a test inadvisable.
Had this test been made the machine would, no doubt, have gone to pieces
with disastrous results, as at that time it would have been impossible to have
obtained sufficient power to meet the loss of output from the damaged machines,
either from Queenston station, which was hardly under construction in 1919,
or from purchased power. Serious as this accident was, it did not, however,
interfere in any way with the power supply to the Commission's customers.
The trouble occurred at 2.44 a.m., and by 7.30 a.m. generating capacity was
available to replace the damaged equipment and to carry the day's load. The
generating capacity disabled amounted to 25,000 kilowatts, while 40,000 kilo-
watts was temporarily put out of service from the flooding of four generators.
The total loss in output was, therefore, 65,000 kilowatts. In replacing this power
supply, use was made of existing tie lines between the Ontario Power Company's
plants and the stations of the Toronto Power Company, Canadian Niagara

26 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

Power Company and the Niagara Falls Power Company. By the co-operation
of these companies, who fortunately had generating capacity available, and
with the assistance of the Niagara, Lockport and Ontario Power Company,
it was possible to make good the power shortage before the day load came on,
so that no customers were inconvenienced.

The generators damaged by water were started drying out at the earliest
possible moment and three of the machines were placed in service after being
dried out and tested. The fourth machine was completely rewound, the sal-
vaged coils being dried out after removal from the machine and returned to
storage as spares.

During the early spring trouble developed on No. 1 nine-foot valve, apparently
due to the failure of the operating screws. It was decided that new screws
and nuts would be required for this valve, and as valves Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6
had been in service the same length of time, it was thought advisable to replace
the nuts in them and to clean out the accumulated sand and gravel in the bon-
nets of the valves. This programme of work required a shut-down of No. 1
pipe line which feeds the first six units in the plant. All of the work was carried
out successfully, and while the condition of the screws and nuts was such as to
make necessary the immediate replacement of the nuts and will require renewal
of the screws in a short time, the permanent structure of the valves was found
to be in good condition.

During the interval No. 1 pipe line was shut down for these repairs, a com-
plete inspection of its interior was made.

The No. 1 pipe line is a steel conduit 18 feet in diameter built of 3^2 mcn
rolled plate incased in a 12 inch concrete envelope. It is 6,500 feet long and
sweeps in a long curve from the head works above the upper Niagara rapids
to the power house just below the falls. The pipe line, head gate and penstock
valves were placed in operation in 1905 and have been continuously used since
that time. The pipe line was un watered in 1908 for repairs to the valves and
again in 1914 for a brief inspection. Conditions this year are then the result
of 17 years use, and as such it might reasonably have been expected that the
equipment would show noticeable evidence of wear and tear from use. The
head gate cannot, of course, be completely closed except when the pipe is shut
down, and although it is operated a short distance each week to make sure
everything is in satisfactory working condition, there was no way of telling
how it would close completely when required. The closing operation on this
shut-down was perfect and the leakage through the gate not more than when
it was first installed. The pipe line was found in equally good condition. A
slight oxidation of the surface of the iron was to be noted, but there was no evi-
dence of progressive rusting; in fact, in places the original mill scale was still
quite apparent on the surface of the plates. Test holes cut through the concrete
on the outside of the pipe showed that it was still in the same condition as when
erected. There is no doubt that unless some unforeseen accident should occur
this pipe line has a life fully equal to that of any other part of the plant.

Although no other -noteworthy changes in equipment were made during
the past year, a large number of improvements, unimportant in themselves,
but on the whole tending towards more efficient and safer operation of the plant,
were made. The usual high standards of maintenance have been kept up so
that the condition of the plant at the end of this financial year leaves little to
be desired.

There were no fatal accidents to employees during the year and only one
serious accident, in which a workman met with a compound fracture of the arm.

1923

HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION

TORONTO POWER COMPANY

The purchase of the Toronto Power Company and allied interests was
finally consummated on November 1, 1922, and full control was taken by the
Commission on this date. The properties, however, were operated in trust for
the Commission from December 1, 1920. From that date to November 1,
1922, the operation was carried on by the officials of the old company in the
same manner as previous to December 1, 1920, except that any changes in plant
were submitted to the Commission for approval.

Several severe storms during the year, causing considerable damage to
the 90,000-volt transmission lines from Niagara Falls to Toronto, resulted in
several protracted power interruptions. This was further aggravated by lack
of communication. In order to overcome this difficulty, the Toronto Power
Company in March, 1922, commenced the installation of five radio telephone
stations along their main transmission lines, these stations being located at
Niagara Falls, Twenty-mile Creek, Burlington, Port Credit and Toronto.
Due to delays in delivery of material, this installation has not been entirely
completed, but final shipment has arrived and it is expected that it will be
installed and in operation before the end of the calendar year.

The generating station of the Electrical Development Company at Niagara
Falls was operated to capacity during most of the year, furnishing considerable
power to the Commission's Niagara system during periods of shortage.

28 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

COMBINED NORTHERN SYSTEMS

The most outstanding feature of the year's operation has been the general
increase in load. The demand for power from the municipalities on the Eugenia,
Severn and Wasdells systems increased in the majority of cases, as will be seen
from the table of loads given in this section, and the demand of the combined
systems during the fiscal year increased from 10,979 horsepower to 13,277 horse-
power, an increase of 21 per cent.

This increase in load has taxed the Commission's generating plants to the
limit of their capacity, and made it more difficult to take equipment out of
service for repair or maintenance. Where such work would take out any equip-
ment reducing the plant output, it has been necessary to carry out the work
during light load periods and in many cases to purchase power.

Due to the low precipitation during the summer and fall months, the
storage in the various lakes feeding the Severn river was depleted to a point
where some anxiety was felt, the operators being faced with a reduced supply
of water on the one hand and an increased demand for power on the other.

The Commission's engineers had foreseen the probable increase in power
requirements and steps were taken early in the summer to conserve water for
power development as much as possible. During low-load periods on the Severn
and Wasdells systems considerable power was generated at the Big Chute and
Wasdells plants, and transferred to the Eugenia system, thus utilizing water
that would otherwise have been wasted over the dams and permitting water
in the Eugenia storage basin to be conserved for use when loads were heavier,
or in case of trouble at any plant. The importance of this arrangement lies in
the fact that the water in the Eugenia basin is stored for development of power
only, and is completely under the control of the Commission, so that water
not required for power can be held until such time as it may be needed, whereas
on the Severn river the question of navigation enters into the problem, water
levels must be maintained and the regulation of the flow is outside of the Com-
mission's control, although the Dominion government engineers in charge of
stream flow and storage elevations on the Severn river have co-operated with
the Commission's engineers to safeguard as far as possible the interest of power
consumers.

In addition to conserving water by the above means, power was purchased
from the Orillia Commission which had surplus capacity in its plant at Swift
Rapids. Power was purchased from this plant during November, December,
April, May, July, August, September and October. In August an arrangement
was made with the Orillia Commission for the supply of a minimum of 800
horsepower. In order to assist the Commission in meeting peak loads and
conserving water, the Orillia Water, Light and Power Commission has co-
operated whenever possible by supplying power considerably in excess of the
contract requirements.

By the above means the Commission's plants have been able to meet the
remarkable increase in the demand for power, and to end the current fiscal
year in a good position to meet the heavier demand of the winter. A study of
load and water conditions shows that if these measures had not been adopted,
both the Eugenia and Severn systems would have suffered a power shortage.
The interconnection and operation of the Eugenia, Severn and Wasdells systems
as a combined unit has proven this year not only mutually advantageous, but
necessary if unrestricted service was to be given.

1923 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 29

In reference to the advantages of combined operation, it may be added
that in April and May, when one unit at the Big Chute was out of service for
temporary repairs, and again in July and August when permanent repairs were
being made, it would have been impossible to supply the demand of the Severn
system municipalities from the Big Chute plant, but by means of the inter-
connection between the systems, including the Swift Rapids plant, it was possible
to carry all load without interruptions or restrictions.

SEVERN SYSTEM

The growth in the Severn System demand, which now exceeds the capacity
of the generating plant, has kept the Big Chute plant heavily loaded. This has
rendered it difficult to get equipment out of service long enough for extensive
overhauling or repairs, but advantage has been taken of such opportunities as
have occurred, and, on the whole, the plant has been maintained in good oper-
ating condition.

On April 30 the shaft broke in the 2,300 horsepower turbine, but fortunately
the machine was brought to a stop before any other damage resulted. Temporary
repairs were completed, and the unit put back into operation on May 12. During
this period the capacity of the Big Chute plant was, of course, seriously reduced,
but power was obtainable from the Eugenia plant, Wasdells plant, and from
the Swift Rapids plant of the Orillia Commission, so that the Severn munici-
palities suffered no restrictions in their power supply. The breakage was shown
to be due to a defect in the shaft, and the manufacturer supplied a new shaft
without charge. Installation of this new shaft was commenced on July 14,
and completed August 9, 1922. While the unit was shut down, arrangements
were made for the supply of power similar to those made during the temporary
repairs in May.

The outside of the penstocks and the gatehouse at this plant, also one of
the operator's cottages, were given a coat of paint.

In September, 1922, a 22,000-volt double-circuit line was built to serve
the Tiffin elevator of the Canadian National Railways at Midland, the new
line tapping off the main transmission line south of Midland. A transformer
station, stepping down from 22,000 volts to 550 volts, was built on the Railway
property alongside the former steam plant. This customer's power require-
ments added materially to the system load.

Where the main transmission line from the Big Chute plant crosses Matche-
dash bay at Waubaushene, the steel towers and pole structures were given a
coat of paint. This crossing includes three steel towers ranging from 90 feet
to 180 feet high, and four wood-pole structures.

Owing to highway construction, it was necessary to alter our lines or move
poles at several points during the year. In nearly all cases, sufficient notice of
road work was received so that it was possible to make arrangements beforehand
to avoid interruptions to service.

Sleet storms of February 22 and March 31, which were so severe in other
parts of Ontario, were not so heavy in the Severn district and lines suffered
no damage.

In order to ensure continuous telephone communication between operating
headquarters at Waubaushene and the Big Chute plant, the No. 6 copper-clad
steel telephone conductor at the Waubaushene crossing was taken down in the
latter part of February, and replaced with a % inch seven-strand steel cable.
The No. 6 wire had proven too weak on the long spans under ice and sleet

conditions, and was liable to cause extended interruptions to service by involving
the power conductors, which are difficult to repair on these high, long spans.
The work of restringing, re-insulating and replacing cross-arms and poles
where necessary, on the "A" circuit between Big Chute and Waubaushene,
was completed early in this fiscal year. Larger conductors were put up, which
facilitates operation and maintenance by allowing the load to be carried by the
new circuit alone, so that the second circuit can be taken out of service for
repairs. Previously this was not always possible. The wooden pole structures
crossing the Black river and some of the long swamp spans were rebuilt to a new
design to give more clearance and strength and the locations were changed
somewhat so as to be more accessible for patrol and maintenance.

EUGENIA SYSTEM

The power demand of the Eugenia System municipalities has increased
during the year, the growth being more marked during the last months.

In November, 1921, taking advantage of the low load period over the
Thanksgiving holiday, repairs to the pipe line at Eugenia were carried out.
Arrangements were made for the transfer of power from the Severn and Was-
dells systems and from the Swift Rapids plant, and the municipalities were
asked to restrict their motor load, Owen Sound operating its steam plant for
the same purpose. As most power customers shut down for the holiday, this
caused little inconvenience, and no restrictions were placed on the lighting load.
The Eugenia plant was closed down at midnight on Saturday, and repairs

1923 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 31

rushed through by night and day work so that the plant was again available
to meet power requirements Tuesday morning. About 100 feet of the wood-
stave pipe line, where it passed through an earth fill, had deteriorated, and
this was repaired by building in a new section. The remainder of the pipe line
was found to be in fair condition and required only minor repairs, such as placing
extra bands and plates here and there where stave ends had sprung, and replacing
a few staves at several points. The expansion joint in the steel pipe section
just below the surge tank was examined and the packing replaced, reducing
leakage at this point.

Advantage was taken of the load condition during the spring months to
make some further improvements in the design of No. 1 turbine in the Eugenia
plant, and a further increase in efficiency resulted. These changes were com-
pleted in June and the unit put back into service. The machine has since
operated very satisfactorily, requiring less water for the same power output,
thus assisting in conserving the water supply, a matter of increasing importance
due to the growth of load.

Various minor adjustments and repairs were made at the plant, the surge
tank and supporting structure were painted, and the power house and equip-
ment generally maintained in a condition of high efficiency.

At Hanover an outdoor type switching station was constructed and put
into operation on January 8, necessary alterations being made in the lines to
connect them into the new structure, the line running north to Elmwood and
Chesley being brought back three-quarters of a mile for this purpose. This
switching station was required to give proper operating control of the lines to
the Bruce County extension and to Elmwood and Chesley, and to permit service
being given from either of the two supply lines at this point. Three electrically
operated, 300-ampere, oil circuit-breakers were installed, together with relays,
so that in case of trouble developing on lines beyond Hanover, the defective
section will be cut out automatically without interrupting service to other
sections and customers.

The Hanover distributing station was extended to accommodate the low-
tension switchboards and the local commission's condenser, the high-tension
equipment remaining in the old section of the building. The entrance structure
was remodelled, and the Hanover local line and the Neustadt feeder re-arranged,
and brought into the new section of the station.

An operator has been located permanently at Hanover to look after the
Hanover transformer station, to operate the condenser of the local commission,
and to do any necessary switching at the Hanover switching station. This
has greatly facilitated the operation of the lines in this section.

At Durham a new substation was erected and put into operation on April
30, to serve the John E. Russell Company. This is an out-door, pole-type
transformer station with three 100-kv-a., 22,500/550-volt transformers. This
station is connected into the Durham-Mount Forest line at pole No. 1,007
in Durham.

On the morning of July 11, about 3 a.m., the out-door, pole-type station
at Elmwood was destroyed by fire, which had its origin in a garage adjacent to
the station. Fortunately the power transformer was not damaged. Service
was restored in the evening of the same day by means of temporary connections.
The pole structure was rebuilt and new equipment installed as soon as delivery
of material could be obtained.

Additional telephone protective equipment was installed at Hanover and
Mount Forest.

FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE

No. 49

At Kincardine the size of the high-tension fuse was increased and the current
transformers on the low-tension relays were altered to give more selective
operation.

Structures at points where transmission lines cross over railway were
inspected, and side guys installed generally throughout the system.

A rural line was built out of Walkerton Quarry substation, supplying con-
sumers in the Walkerton rural power district. This work was done by the
Operating Department maintenance staff, and line was put into service on Febru-
ary 15, being operated by this department.

The Flesherton rural power system was built by the Construction Depart-
ment and turned over to the Operating Department for operation on March
24, 1922.

Owing to the programme of provincial highway construction, it was neces-
sary to make extensive alterations to the lines on the Eugenia system. In some
cases blasting under or near the Commission lines resulted in damage to the
lines and equipment and serious interruptions to customers. Considerable
trouble was experienced in this respect on the line running north to Owen
Sound, and at one point on this line, where the roadway ran through a rock
cutting, it was necessary for us to remove our lines from the highway for a
distance of about 1,100 feet, in order to avoid a continuation of the numerous
interruptions due to blasting. On the road north of Markdale, which was
reconstructed more than a year ago, the settling of the earth has caused poles
to go over and has rendered necessary constant inspection and considerable
work to maintain it in a safe and satisfactory operating condition. A somewhat
similar condition exists on the road between Durham and Mount Forest.

The sleet storm of February 22, which was so severe further south, did
practically no damage to the lines on the Eugenia system. The same is true
of the sleet storm of March 31, 1922.

WASDELLS SYSTEM

The load for the Wasdells system at the end of the fiscal year showed a
considerable increase over the same month last year. This was, in great part,
due to an extension of the system transmission line to supply the new munici-
palities of Port Perry and Uxbridge. Due to the power requirements of the
Severn and Eugenia systems, and in order to conserve water wherever possible,
as well as because of the increased load of the Wasdells system, the generating
station at Wasdells Falls has been kept heavily loaded.

The shaft in No. 2 generator at Wasdells, which had broken and been
repaired some years previously, was replaced by a new shaft, as the shaft again
failed, making it practically impossible to effect satisfactory repair. At the
time of the first break, a new shaft was ordered and had been delivered and
held at the plant for some time in order to make the replacement when a suitable
opportunity occurred. This work was carried out in March, 1922.

2 H.C.

FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE

No. 49

No. 1 unit at this plant is also operating with a repaired shaft, but a new-
shaft of somewhat stronger design has been ordered and recently delivered,
as it is intended to replace the shaft at an early date. A new thrust bearing has
also been designed and supplied for this unit, and will be installed at the time
the new shaft is put in. It is believed that this will avoid further trouble with
shafts breaking.

The metering equipment at the power house was re-arranged and additional
meters installed in order to get more complete records of the power generated
and distributed to the system or tie line.

An investigation was made into the question of flooding certain lands
above the power house, and it was shown that this was due, to a great extent,
to narrow sections in the river, and not to the operation of the power house.
An agreement was reached with the farmers on the lands affected, fixing the
level to be maintained in the head water at the Wasdells plant.

The usual details of maintenance were carried out through the year to
maintain the equipment in the power house and substations in proper operating
condition, and lines were constantly patrolled in order to detect and replace
any insulators, cross-arms, etc., likely to cause trouble.

A 22,000-volt single circuit line of 5/16 inch steel cable was constructed
from Cannington to Greenbank station. A 3-phase transformer of 150-kv-a.
capacity was installed at this station, stepping down from 22,000 volts to 4,000
volts. A feeder at 4,000 volts runs from this station to Junction W761, a distance
of \% miles, where it branches, one line running 4% miles to Port Perry and
the other 4 miles to Uxbridge. Station and lines were made alive and service
first given to the municipalities on September 29, 1922.

MUSKOKA SYSTEM

The generating station at South Falls has been taxed to its capacity during
the past year. There has been some increase in the peak load demand of the
Muskoka system municipalities, and they have also raised their load factor,
so that the total kilowatt-hours required from the South Falls plant during
1922 as compared with 1921 shows a growth in the average load of approximately
14 per cent.

The increase in the load has made it even more difficult than formerly to
carry out maintenance work on the generators, turbines and other equipment.
There are only short periods during which the load can be carried by one gener-
ator, permitting the other to be closed down for inspection or repairs.

On April 26, the shaft extension on No. 2 unit broke off. Work on a new
shaft extension was rushed through and the unit was repaired and put back
into service on April 28. During the interval, both Gravenhurst and Hunts-
ville loads were restricted to the putput of No. 1 generator. To avoid a repetition
of the same trouble, a new shaft extension was made up of nickel steel and
installed. This work was carried out between Saturday night of June 30, and
Tuesday morning, July 3, the load requirements of the municipalities being
light over Sunday and Dominion Day.

Some trouble has been experienced at different times during the year
due to armature coils burning out in No. 1 generator. Repairs were in all cases
rushed through without delay, a quantity of spare coils being kept on hand.

ST. LAWRENCE SYSTEM

Had the voltage of the St. Lawrence system not been raised to 44,000
volts, the operation throughout the present fiscal year would have been practically
uneventful. However, in order to supply power to the Eugene Phillips Com-
pany, located at Brockville, the transmission voltage of the system had to be
raised, and for economic reasons, 44,000 volts was selected.

This, of course, necessitated changes in the old transmission lines and old
stations, the changes at Prescott being the most drastic. This station was
practically rebuilt, using a new 300-kv-a., out-door type transformer. Such
changes were not necessary in the lines and stations of more recent construction,
as provision had been made for this eventuality.

The system has been operating since October 1, with two high-tension
voltages, since a small section from Morrisburg to Winchester and Chesterville
is still served at 25,400 volts, while 44,000 volts is used elsewhere. This small
section was left undisturbed in order to avoid the expense of reinsulating the
lines and making the necessary station changes. A 300-kv-a., 44,000/25,400-
volt transformer, installed at Morrisburg, serves to supply the required power,
while air-break switches located at the same point serve to sectionalize the high-
tension lines.

Owing to the fact that the high-tension transformers at Cornwall are

FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE

No. 49

"Y"-connected on the 110,000-volt side, the neutral could not be grounded at
Cornwall without creating inductive interference, injurious to the Bell Tele-
phone Company. Various schemes for stabilizing the neutral without the
objectionable telephone interference were tried, and numerous tests with
oscillographic records were made. The transformers were left operating with
the neutral of the service bank connected to the neutral of the high-tension
bank, thus utilizing the service bank as a sort of tertiary winding. In this way
the system has operated in a satisfactory manner.

It might be added that the new station at Brockville which serves and is
owned by the Eugene Phillips Company, was made alive on October 25, 1922,
just prior to the close of the fiscal year.

RIDEAU SYSTEM

Of the Rideau system there is little to be said. From an operating point
of view the Grenville Crushed Rock Company at Deeks, which was connected
to the system on March 1, 1922, has given some trouble in the way of voltage
regulation. This station was constructed by the customer to supply a load of
considerable magnitude which, as is usual with rock crushing plants, was both
variable and abrupt in its variations. As a result, the regulating equipment
at High Falls failed to control satisfactorily the system voltage. The trouble
was corrected by making minor additions and adjustments to the equipment,
which is now satisfactory in every respect.

The new station supplying the village of Kemptville was put in operation
on November 28, 1921, and has since been operating without incident. This
station is connected to the system by a 26,400 line from Merrickville, 12.1 miles
in length, and since the load requirements are light it can be supplied from
Merrickville station in case of trouble on the Smiths Falls-Merrickville line.
This, of course, is an advantage.

THUNDER BAY SYSTEM

The Cameron Falls plant has now completed its second year of operation
with steadily increasing load. There were no radical changes on the Thunder
Bay system during the past year.

Due to the closing down of the Nipigon Fibre Company just before the
beginning of the fiscal year, the load decreased for some months, but a rapid
increase has been evident since that time, and the load is now attaining a value
where both generators are necessary to carry the load.

All equipment at the generating station came through the year in good
condition. Besides the usual repair work on auxiliary equipment, the turbine
bearing on No. 2 unit was replaced. The units of the main power transformer
bank have now been painted and placed in permanent locations.

No trouble has been experienced with the transmission line so far. Weather
conditions in the main have been favourable, although late last winter a severe
sleet storm visited the Port Arthur district. While a great deal of damage was
done by this storm to the local and other distribution systems, the Commission's
line stood up under the strain and we experienced no trouble whatever.

At the receiving station at Bare Point some work was done on the power
transformers and the metering equipment. The power transformer tanks
required attention due to oil leaks, and these have been repaired and the units
painted. The metering equipment was altered slightly with a view to obtaining
more satisfactory records.

Some slight changes were made in the Port Arthur distributing station.
These consisted in alterations to the metering equipment for better records, and
in the protective equipment with a view to giving the best service by isolating
trouble to its own feeder wherever possible. A section of the station near
switchboard has been partitioned off as an office for the operators, for the
greater safety of the operators and to reduce cost of heating.

The increase in load on this system is shown by the curve given elsewhere
in this report and indicates an encouraging growth in the amount of power
utilized in this district.

1923 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 43

OTTAWA SYSTEM

The only change in operating conditions on the Ottawa system has been
the addition of the Nepean Rural district, the line to which was first made alive
on February 23, 1922. This line is connected to the distributing lines of the
Ottawa Hydro-Electric Commission under arrangements with that Commission.
The total supply of power for the Ottawa system is obtained from the Ottawa
and Hull Power and Manufacturing Company under a contract between that
Company and the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario. The delivery
of power has been very reliable and satisfactory.

The load of the Ottawa Hydro-Electric Commission, as will be seen from
the accompanying graph, has continued to increase in a gratifying manner.

CENTRAL ONTARIO AND TRENT SYSTEM*

A noteworthy addition to the generating equipment of the Central Ontario
and Trent system occurred during the month of August, 1922, when the first
unit of the new Ranney Falls generating station was placed in operation. The
plant consists of two 4,500-kv-a. units, one of which was put into service with
certain load limitations pending the completion of the work. On September 2,
the second generator became available and with the second transformer the entire
plant became available on September 18, 1922.

It is interesting to note that the plant is designed to operate with increased
output while the canal is closed to navigation. The nominal electrical capacity
during the navigation season, of 7,200 kilowatts, or 9,650 horsepower, becomes,
with an eight-foot reduction of the reach above dam No. 9 and the corresponding
increase in operating head at dam No. 10, approximately 8,400 kilowatts, or
11,300 horsepower.

A large percentage of the valuable power sites of the Trent and Otonabee
rivers occurs in the neighbourhood of Campbellford. Dams 11, 12 and 14 are
already developed, consequently Ranney Falls (dam No. 10) is close to a number
of existing transmission lines. This is to some extent an operating convenience
as it provides a number of outlets for the power, diminishing the possibility of
the station being cut off from the high-tension transmission system. A double
circuit section, 0.38 miles in length, loops the Healey Falls-Trenton line
into the station, which enables the operators to sectionalize this line, and
in case of trouble on one section, to deliver power over the other. Ultimately
another connection will be made from Ranney Falls to the Campbellford-
Belleville line.

These numerous connections have the advantage of great operating flex-
ibility in the matter of transmission, but the concentration of so large a per-
centage of the system power between Healey Falls and Trenton necessitates
heavier transmission lines in all directions than would be the case if the plants
were spread out nearer the various load centres.

* The Central Ontario system and the Trent system both receive their electrical energy
from the same sources of power supply through the same main transmission network and from
the standpoint of power development and electrical operation are regarded as a unit and known
as the Central Ontario and Trent system. It may be explained that after the Central Ontario
system was purchased by the provincial Government, a number of municipalities in central
Ontario, from time to time, applied to the Hydro-Electric Power Commission for power to be
supplied under the provisions of the Power Commission Act. The municipalities in central On-
tario which thus enter into direct relationship with the Hydro-Electric Power Commission are
for purposes of financial administration grouped in what is termed the "Trent system."

1923 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 45

As a result of the re-insulation work carried out during 1919 and 1920,
a very high grade of service has been obtained from the transmission lines at
comparatively small expense. Insulator failures are almost unknown and
interruptions from other causes have been satisfactorily dealt with. It is now
safe to say that the reduction in the number of patrolmen as described in the
Annual Report for 1921 was fully justified from the viewpoint of service as well
as economy.

It is gratifying to report that high-tension line surges have been reduced
through grounding the system neutral at the star point of the three-phase
transformers at Healey Falls. Equipment has also been provided, making it
possible to ground the neutral at the Sidney Terminal station in case the system
should be sectionalized so that Healey Falls and Trenton are supplying different
sections. It is standard operating practice to keep all high-tension lines in
parallel and the neutral grounded at only one point, usually Healey Falls.

To improve the relay operation and to provide a relay system workable
with a grounded neutral transmission system, a thorough revision of the relays
throughout the entire 44,000-volt system was made. Although the operation
of these relays depends to a large extent upon suitable settings, which requires
a certain amount of time and experience, it can be definitely said that the reverse
power and ground relays, which previously were not in general use, make it
possible automatically to isolate sections of lines on which trouble occurs, with
very little, if any, disturbance to the rest of the system.

As a result of the combination of the new relay scheme and the grounded
neutral, disturbances which previously would have created surges, spreading
over large and unexpected sections of the system, are now localized.

On the initiative of the Peterboro Civic Utilities, an improvement has been
effected in the line facilities for utilizing, when required, the surplus power
of the Peterboro Hydraulic Power Company. Formerly this power was fed
directly into one or two circuits of the Peterboro distributing system, which
imposed undesirable limitations as to the quantity of power which could be.
taken at various times. Now the Quaker Oats Company has set aside one of
its lines from the Peterboro Hydraulic Power Company to its factory, and the
Civic Utilities has provided a line from the factory to the Peterboro substation,
which enables the Commission to deliver the power to the 2,400-volt bus and
meter it at the station. The Commission provided protective equipment at
the Peterboro Hydraulic Power Company.

At the request of the Canada Cement Company, one of the 750-kv-a.,
44,000-volt transformers was removed from the Belleville Cement Mill to the
Lehigh station, where it is more likely to be required. The connections for the
transformer have not yet been completed.

FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE

No. 49

PROBLEM OF WATER SHORTAGE

The Central Ontario and Trent system, as is well known, is entirely depen-
dent for power upon generating stations situated on the Trent and Otonabee
rivers, — waters which are navigable. These generating stations are now the
property of the province of Ontario and are operated in trust by the Hydro-
Electric Power Commission of Ontario. The interest of navigation and all
matters respecting the regulation of stream flow are under the jurisdiction of
the Federal Government. The interests of both navigation and power are
affected by the manner in which the Trent and Otonabee waters are regulated.
Navigation is chiefly concerned with the maintenance of certain levels, while
power is more especially interested in the maintenance of a uniform stream
flow.

At times, insufficient stream flow has created serious power shortages
which, it is contended, could have been avoided without in any manner causing
injury to navigation interests. In 1922, a very serious shortage occurred. The
Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario has had technical officers make
a careful study of the conditions which resulted in this shortage with a view
to ascertaining what form of flow regulation could advantageously be adopted
in order to avoid, so far as possible, similar shortages in the future. The various
data and studies of the Commission's engineers are being assembled in the form
of a Report, which, if ready before the Fifteenth Annual Report goes to press,
will be included as Appendix No. 3.

during 1920, has been essential to the operation of the system. Rangers have
been employed throughout the year to look after these dams, doing such minor
maintenance as necessary, and operating the stop logs to store or release water
as required. Two rangers' shanties have been constructed in the bush for
their accommodation while at outlying points.

Braie Lake storage dam was blown up with dynamite by some unknown
party on August 6 or 7, 1922. The person responsible for this damage has not
yet been discovered, and there is no apparent motive for the outrage. The loss
of the water stored on this lake made it necessary to drain the storage areas
further back, and in view of the abnormally dry summer and autumn, this
depletion of storage areas is a matter of serious importance. The dry season has
also reduced the natural autumn storage and stream flow, lowering the possible
output of the power house.

The power house and equipment generally have been maintained in good
operating condition. The Lombard governor cylinders were re-bored and re-
ground, and fitted with larger pistons to give more efficient governor operation.
Protective screens were installed around the lightning arresters to avoid danger
of operators coming in contact with live parts. On the main dam above the
power house a hand railing was installed for the safety of the operators.

On April 7, lightning struck the North Bay auxiliary steam plant, setting
fire to the building. The fire was extinguished without serious damage to the
building, but the 150-kw. generator was badly burned and had to be returned
to the manufacturers for repair. The 300-kw. generator was damaged by water,
but repairs were made and coils dried out without removing machine from the
plant. The manufacturers put in a new winding in the 150-kw. generator, and
same was returned to North Bay and reinstalled in the steam plant in October.
Loss was covered by insurance.

At Callander substation an additional 25-kv-a., 22,000-volt, single-phase
transformer was installed, connected in open delta to operate with the trans-
former previously installed. All equipment in the station was grounded.

OPERATING DEPARTMENT METER SECTION

The work of this section of the operating department has been carried on
in the usual way during the past year in checking, calibrating and maintaining
in adjustment all the metering equipment used by the Commission for billing
purposes. This equipment is calibrated periodically, and in case of damage
is repaired and replaced in service as soon as possible.

The protective devices on feeders, transformer banks and high-tension
lines have been maintained in the best possible condition, and in most cases
trouble is now isolated in its own location instead of involving other sections.

The services of the Operating Department meter repair shop have been
used for repairing and rewinding instrument transformers and rebuilding meters.
This work is taken care of in emergency at minimum expense. Some special
work in adjustment of voltage transformers for accurate ratio has* also been
done.

A number of tests of various sorts have been made for municipalities
requesting them, the engineers of this department, with the necessary equipment,
being available at short notice.

Checks are also made in the case of new stations and new equipment being
cut into service, this being necessary in order to ensure minimum disturbance
to equipment already in service, and also to obviate the necessity of later inter-
ruptions, as any alterations thus discovered to be necessary can be made before
equipment is made alive and permanently connected into service.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION
NIAGARA SYSTEM

QUEENSTON GENERATING STATION

Power House Superstructure

The construction of the superstructure of Queenston generating station has
been continued and the general construction of the 300 feet of the building has
been practically completed including all interior walls and compartments neces-
sary for the installation of electrical apparatus for four units.

The building tile for the partitions was supplied by the National Fire Proof-
ing Company of Canada, Limited, Toronto, and the tile for the exterior walls by
the Interlocking Tile Company, Limited, Toronto.

The toilet fittings were supplied by the Empire Brass Manufacturing Com-
pany, Toronto.

The interior doors and trim are kalamein covered and were supplied by the
A. B. Ormsby Company, Limited, Toronto.

The metal lath throughout the station is of Hyrib lath supplied by the
Trussed Concrete Steel Company of Canada, Walkerville.

The roofing of the building is being done by the Carmichael Waterproofing
Company Limited, Toronto, and the roofing tile for the roof surface is being
supplied by the Department of the Provincial Secretary.

A twelve-ton hoist supplied by the Northern Crane Works Company has
been installed in the south end of the station.

The fans for generator cooling purposes have been installed on four units.

The passenger elevator in the south end of the station has been installed
by the Turnbull Elevator Company, Toronto.

Screen House

The construction of the Queenston screen house has been continued and
the general construction of 400 feet of the building is proceeding, including the
Administration building at the south end. The tile for the interior partitions
is being supplied by the National Fire Proofing Company of Canada, Limited,
Toronto.

Generators

As projected in last year's Report, No. 1, 45,000-kv-a. main unit was "turned
over" for the first time on December 26, 1921. On December 28, the opening
of the power house was officially celebrated. After drying run, the generator
was phased out and paralleled with the Niagara system on January 22, 1922.
Necessary adjustments were made and the machine was put into commercial
service on January 26, 1922.

No. 2 unit was "turned over" for the first time on February 20, 1922, the
generator phased out after drying on March 15, and put on commercial load on
March 16, 1922.

On April 16, this unit broke down due to a ventilating fan coming off the
rotor and damaging the armature windings. The winding was repaired by the
manufacturers under their contract guarantee and placed in service again. The
repaired generator was "turned over" again on May 28, and placed in commercial
operation once more on May 31, 1922.

No. 3 unit was "turned over" for the first time on July 25, and the drying out
of the generator was completed on August 11. Tests for efficiency characteristics,
sudden short circuit and overspeed were made during the following week to
ascertain whether contract guarantees were met. These were all successful ex-
cept the short circuit test under which the bracing on the armature winding
failed. The armature was rewound with heavier bracing by the manufacturers
under the terms of their contract guarantee and the unit started up again on
September 23. After drying out it was put on commercial load on October 3,
1922.

No. 4 unit is nearly assembled and will be ready to go on load about Decem-
ber 1. It is expected that No. 5 unit will be ready for service in March, 1923.

Transformers

Three banks each consisting of three 15,000-kv-a., single phase transformers
have been installed to take care of the output of Nos. 1, 2 and 3 generators, each
bank being ready in time to go into service with its respective generating unit.
The remaining six transformers of the original order of fifteen have been partly
installed.

One bank is illustrated in the accompanying cut.

manent control room have been worked out and the building is now practically
complete. It is expected that the permanent switchboard will be ready by the
time No. 5 unit is ready for service.

Slate for the permanent switchboard was ordered from A. H. Winter Joyner,
Limited, in July. Other switchboard equipment will be moved from the tem-
porary control room where it is now installed.

Grounding Neutral

Neutrals of generators have been operated dead grounded hitherto. The
Canadian Westinghouse Company are supplying a temporary resistance for the
neutrals of units 1 and 2 until opportunity occurs to add bracing to the armature
windings on these machines.

The 110,000-volt neutral has been operated ungrounded at this station, the
ground through resistance at Niagara transformer station being depended upon.
However, as the bulk of the Niagara System load is being transferred to Queen-
ston, a neutral grounding resistance of 100 ohms is being installed and should be
ready for service in December, 1922.

Station Service

Station service distributing and control switchboards at service station "A"
with all feeders to necessary services and all batteries and control circuits were
completed in December, 1921, and Whirlpool distributing station was available
as a source of power to enable No. 1 unit to be started.

Service generating unit "A" (2,200-kv-a.) was started up for drying run on
January 11, and put on load on January 26, 1922. Service unit "B" was put
on load on March 18.

Auxiliary Systems and Equipment

Lubrication systems, transformer oil systems and cooling water piping
systems were completed for each unit by the time the unit itself was ready for
operation.

The 150-kw., auxiliary exciter set was delivered by the Swedish General
Electric Company in February, 1922, and was set up in a temporary location.

Outgoing 110, 000- volt lines were strung for three units. These run through
standard 11 0,000- volt entrance bushings in the pent houses on the station roof
where they connect to section N20x50 of the Niagara transmission system at
the bottom of the span strung from a roof structure to towers at the top of the
escarpment.

ONTARIO POWER COMPANY

The bursting of No. 15 generator in the power house on April 20, 1922,
damaged the adjacent No. 16 generator and caused the collapse of the roof over
units Nos. 15 and 16 and twisting of the roof steel between units No. 14 and
No. 15.

The damage to the building was repaired during the year. The generators,
however, had not been replaced by October 31, 1922.

The repairs and replacements to the building structural steel were carried
out by the Standard Steel Construction Company. The roofing was done by
the Carmichael Waterproofing Company and the remainder of the work was
undertaken by the Construction department.

The accompanying cuts illustrate forcibly the damage done by this accident.
The original installation was described and illustrated in the 1918 and 1919
Annual Reports.

Chippawa Distributing Station

In order to supply power to the village of Chippawa and the Chippawa
rural district including the village of Stevensville, the Commission authorized,
on August 2, 1922, the purchase and installation of the equipment necessary for
a pole- type station to be fed from one of the 12, 000- volt lines from the Ontario
Power Company's distributing station. The equipment will consist of a 300-kv-a.,
3-phase, special rural-class transformer with 12, 000- volt choke-coils, disconnect-
ing-switches and fuses, and two 4,000-volt feeders with fuses and a graphic-
recording wattmeter for the Chippawa feeder.

The transformer has been purchased from the Packard Electric Company
and layout drawings are being made up. The installation will be done by the
Construction department and it is expected that the work will be completed in
December, 1922.

Beamsville Distributing Station

In order to supply power to the Beamsville rural district, the Commission,
on June 19, 1922, authorized the purchase and installation of the equipment
necessary for a pole- type station to be fed from a new 12, 000- volt line from St.
Catharines. The equipment will consist of a 300-kv-a., 3-phase, special rural-
class transformer manufactured by the Packard Electric Company with 12,000-
volt choke-coils, disconnecting-switches and fuses, and one 4,000-volt feeder with
fuses and a graphic-recording wattmeter. The work is being carried out by the
Construction department and will be completed in November, 1922.

Grimsby Distributing Station

the customer's equipment is in condition to receive it.

Montrose Distributing Station

This station was taken out of service in January, 1922, and partially dis-
mantled. In August, 1922, it was again placed in service to supply power to
Chippawa and Stevensville villages and to the contractors for dredging out the
Wei land River section of the Chippawa canal.

Whirlpool Distributing Station

This station was taken out of service in August, 1922, and is being dis-

NIAGARA TRANSFORMER STATION

The connection of No. 5 Ontario Power Company feeder to the main 12,000-
volt bus between No. 2 and No. 3 feeder structures of the Ontario Power Com-
pany at the north end of the station, as outlined in last year's Report, was
completed and the feeder placed in service on November 20, 1921.

The installation of type-"CR," reverse-power and type-"CO," ground re-
lays with current-transformers, as outlined in last year's Report, was completed
on the Ontario Power Company feeders in July, 1922, but held up on the Cana-
dian Niagara Power Company feeders on account of inability to get interruptions.
Work, however, is now proceeding on these feeders and will be completed in
November, 1922.

The installation of 110,000-volt outdoor breakers in Al and A4 lines, as
outlined in last year's Report, has been completed, 1A4 being finished on Febru-
ary 1, 1922, and 1A1 on March 16, 1922. In July, 1922, it was decided to add
grounding clamps and an operating platform on the Dundas side. These were
completed in October, 1922.

On November 1, 1921, work was started on the installation of a ventilating
system in the basement for quickly removing the smoke in event of trouble on
the 12,000-volt switching equipment. The equipment consists of 110- volt direct
current fans located in the windows and operated from storage batteries arranged
in three circuits, one for the north section and two for the south section, and
controlled by knife switches located on the main floor. The fans were purchased
from and installed by the Canadian Blower and Forge Company, while the
conduit and connections were installed by the Construction department, the
work being completed and placed in service on September 18, 1922.

In January, 1922, it was decided to install new 12,000-volt disconnecting
switch blades equipped with resistors on the potential transformer switches on
all the Ontario Power Company feeders not equipped with same, and on the two
sets of the main Ontario Power Company bus potential transformers. These
were ordered from the Canadian Westinghouse Company and installed by the
Construction department, the work b.eing completed and in service on September
17, 1922.

In February, 1922, authorization was given for the installation of one
110,000-volt, 300-ampere, non-automatic, electrically-operated oil breaker to
replace the existing bus-tie breaker which was of insufficient capacity; also for
the changing of contacts from 200- to 400-ampere capacity and installing of
new tank linings in the two 110,000-volt, outdoor resistance breakers in the
Niagara-Dundas lines (Nlx2) and also for changing the current-carrying parts
from 200- to 400-ampere capacity and installing stronger insulators on the two
sets of bus disconnecting-switches. Current-carrying parts for bus disconnect-

1923 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 61

ing-switches were purchased from the Canadian Westinghouse Company and
were installed with insulators from stock by the Operating department in Febru-
ary, 1922. The bus-tie, oil breaker — one that had been rebuilt — was installed
and placed in service on September 17, 1922. New current-carrying parts for
outdoor resistance breakers were delivered by the Canadian Westinghouse
Company in September, while tank linings had been purchased by the Operating
department in October, 1921. Installation of these will be completed early in
1923.

A start was made on May 31, 1922, with the purchase and installation of
three Canadian General Electric Company, current-limiting reactors (type
C.L.S., 25-cycle, 2,300-kv-a., 1,150-volts, 2,000-amperes) with three shunt re-
sistors to replace the three ''Metropolitan" reactors in set, "A" location. When
these last were damaged in August, 1921, two similar reactors were removed from
set "C" location and installed in set "A" and the bus at set "C" connected with
jumpers. In October it was decided to install the new reactors in set "C"
location. The reactors were delivered during the latter part of October and
installation will be completed early in 1923 by the Operating department.

Niagara Falls Municipal Station

Plans and specifications for the new combined substation and office building,
as outlined in the last report, were prepared by Mr. C. M. Borter, of Niagara
Falls, as the architect for the Niagara Falls Commission. The contract for the
building was placed by that body with the Robertson Construction and Engineer-
ing Company of Niagara Falls, Ontario. Construction work was started in May
and it is expected that the building will be completed in December, 1922.

Engineering assistance was given by the Commission in the preparation of
plans for the oil and cooling-water systems in connection with the station. The
cooling- water system included a cooling pond, for which plans were prepared,
the work being carried out by the municipal Commission. Instructions were
issued to the Construction department to purchase and install all oil and water
piping. Assistance was also given to the local Commission in the purchase of
a water pump, a transformer-oil storage tank, a chain block for dismantling
transformers, and a transformer truck.

Detailed plans of the substation equipment have been completed. The con-
tract covering the switchboard, the 2,300-volt, switching equipment, the 12,000-
volt, lightning arresters and one 80-kv-a., 3-phase, induction regulator was placed
with the Canadian General Electric Company.

The local Commission was given engineering assistance in connection with
the purchase and testing of a new 1,500-kv-a., 13, 200/2, 300-volt, 3-phase, oil-
insulated, water-cooled transformer bought from the Canadian Crocker- Wheeler
Company for use in the new station.

The station load will be totalized on the 12,000-volt incoming lines and
metered by graphic-recording wattmeter and recording, reactive, volt-ampere
meter, and watthour meter, these being the property of the Commission.

In July the Construction department placed the conduit in the main floor
of the substation and in September commenced the work of installing the station
equipment. It is expected that sufficient equipment will be installed to give a
partial service in December and that the installation will be completed early
in 1923.

Hamilton feeders (Nos. 251, 252, 257 and 258) to provide increased capacity.
This was done and the new current transformers placed in service on February
18, 1922, by the Operating department.

In August, 1922, authorization was given to replace the disconnecting-
switches and choke-coils on feeders 257 and 258 by new ones of larger capacity.
This will be completed early in 1923 by the Operating department.

In the month of August the preparation of plans for a 45-foot extension
to the east end of the present building was commenced.

The structural steel was contracted for with the Hamilton Bridge Works
in September.

Instructions were issued to the Construction department in September
covering the complete building, and on October 31 approximately 25 per cent, of
the work was done, while practically all the required material was on the site on
that date.

This extension is to house two new 110, 000- volt oil breakers, with necessary
connecting material and metering equipment for two 110,000- volt lines. The
installation will be.completed early in 1923.

Dundas Rural Distributing Station

In order to supply power to the Dundas rural district, the Commission
authorized the purchase and installation of the equipment necessary for a pole-
type station to be fed from a 13,200-volt line from Dundas transformer station.
The station will consist of a 300-kv-a., 3-phase, outdoor- type transformer with
13,200-volt choke-coils, disconnecting-switches and fuses, and one 2,300-volt
feeder with fuses and graphic-recording wattmeter equipment.

1922.

TORONTO TRANSFORMER STATION

The differential relay protection for the five banks of power transformers
mentioned in last year's Report was completed and placed in service on January
14, 1922.

Three of the 5,000-kv-a. transformers purchased from the Canadian General
Electric Company for use on the Niagara system were shipped to Toronto trans-
former station, where they have been stored in the yard for emergency use. The
transformers were delivered to Toronto transformer station in July.

As the two 110,000-volt line, oil circuit-breakers which were installed in Tor-
onto in 1910 did not have sufficient interrupting capacity for the present system it
was decided in September to replace both breakers. Accordingly an order was

1923 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 63

placed with the Canadian Westinghouse Company for two type- u G.A.4," indoor,
oil circuit-breakers including bushing- type current-transformers.

While the new breakers are being installed reverse-power relays will be
provided for the 110,000- volt lines.

The work will be carried out early in 1923.

As a temporary measure to increase the transformer capacity it was decided
in October to move the three 5,000-kv-a. transformers, which were in storage in
the yard, to a convenient location north of the station, and to connect up to the
110, 000- volt bus and to the 13,200-volt buses in the station. This will be accom-
plished by extending the 110,000-volt bus through the north wall to a type-
"G.A.4," Westinghouse, outdoor breaker. The 13,200-volt connections will be
made with armoured cable through two oil circuit-breakers belonging to the
Toronto Hydro-Electric system. Differential relay protection will be provided
using high-voltage current-transformers manufactured by the Production and
Service department and low-voltage current-transformers purchased from the
Ferranti Meter and Transformer Manufacturing Company, Toronto. A wood-
pole structure will be erected over the transformers to carry the high- and low-
voltage connections.

This installation of the transformers will be completed early in 1923.

All the work referred to at the Toronto transformer station has been or will
be done by the Construction department.

cluding the addition of a small room for storing synchronous condenser, spare
armature coils and the installation of a shower bath with water heater.

The four 5,000-kv-a. transformers referred to in last year's Report were
completely assembled and on April 9, three of these were placed in service in
No. 2 compartment. The three 2,500-kv-a. transformers were then removed
from No. 3 compartment and shipped to Guelph transformer station on May 1.
The two 1,250-kv-a. transformers were stored in the yard at the London trans-
former station for a short time, and were shipped to Preston transformer station
in October.

The changes in the switching equipment referred to in last year's Report and
the changes in the building will be completed in January. This work is being
done by the Construction department, which also did all the work of moving
the transformers.

To release the three 2,500-kv-a. transformers now in No. 1 compartment for
one of the other transformer stations on the Niagara system it has been decided
to install in the London station three more of the 5,000-kv-a. transformers
purchased from the Canadian General Electric Company for use on the Niagara
system.

These transformers will be ready for service early in 1923.

To provide storage space for construction material and for line and station
maintenance supplies a storehouse of corrugated iron on wood frame approxi-
mately thirty feet by sixty feet, has been erected to the north-west of the London
transformer station. This building was erected by the Construction department.

equipments in the Salt Block substation of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission
railways was authorized to replace three lower-capacity equipments owned by the
Windsor Hydro-Electric system. These equipments, consisting of switchboard
panels, carbon circuit-breakers, ammeters, and knife switches, were obtained
from the Whirlpool distributing station and installed by the Windsor Hydro-
Electric system, being placed in service on October 15, 1922.

Walkerville Municipal Station

Engineering assistance was given to the Walkerville Hydro-Electric system-
in connection with the inspection and tests of one 1,000-kv-a., 3-phase, trans-
former which it had purchased. These tests were completed on July 18, 1922.

Windsor Municipal Station

Engineering assistance was given the Windsor Hydro-Electric system in
building an extension to the municipal station, 36 feet wide, 85 feet long and
extending 46 feet above grade, as mentioned in the Annual Report of 1921.

In February the building plans and specifications having been completed,
were forwarded to the local Commission, who called for tenders for construction.

Tenders were received in March and the contract awarded to Muxlow and
Gale, contractors, in April, they undertaking to complete the building in 95
working days. Steady progress was made and the building was practically
completed in the time provided by the contract.

In January, 1922, tenders were called for on the electrical equipment for
the extension. Contracts for this equipment were awarded in April as follows: —

The Canadian Westinghouse Company was given the contract for the supply
and installation of both 26,400-volt and 4,000-volt switching equipment, includ-
ing 26,400-volt, type-"G.A.3" and 4,000-volt, type-"B-13" oil-breakers, four
100-kv-a. feeder regulators, and the switchboard. The Canadian General
Electric Company was given the contract for the 26,400-volt, oxide-film arrester
and the 5-kw., battery-charging, motor-generator set. The Moloney Electric
Company undertook the contract for two 3,000-kv.-a., 26,400-13,200/2,300-

72 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

4,000-volt, three-phase, 25-cycle transformers and three 50-kw., 2,200/220-110-
volt, service transformers. The Exide Batteries of Canada, Limited, secured an
order for the 60-cell, type-"E7" battery for operating the oil-breakers. The
Standard Underground Cable Company undertook the supply of the three-
conductor, 250,000 cm., paper-insulated, lead-covered, 4,000-volt cable and out-
door potheads for the 4,000-volt outgoing feeders.

On account of the destruction of the Moloney Electric Company's factory
by fire early in September, it became necessary to cancel the contract for the
transformers, and new tenders were called for on these in October. The three
50-kv-a., service transformers were ordered direct by the Windsor Hydro-
Electric system from the Canadian Crocker- Wheeler Company. Tenders on the
two 3,000-kv-a. transformers are expected early in November, 1922.

As the two new 3,000-kv-a. transformers would not be available for some
time the Windsor Hydro-Electric Commission rented two 1,500-kv-a., Canadian
Crocker- Wheeler Company transformers from the Commission's Niaraga system
reserve equipment for use until such time as its own are available.

The Canadian Westinghouse Company are installing the 26,400-volt and
the 4,000-volt switching equipment connecting up to the 3,000-kv-a. transformers
and making all connections to the outgoing potheads on the 4,000-volt feeders.
The layout for the 4,000-volt outgoing feeders (underground) both inside and
outside the station was designed by the Engineering department and will be
installed by the local Commission.

The lighting, heating, and the transformer, water and oil-piping layouts
have been made up by the Engineering department and are being installed by the
Construction department. The installation work is progressing favourably and
it is expected to get this extension in service about January 1, 1923.
Storehouse

In June, instructions were received to give engineering assistance to the
Windsor Hydro-Electric system in the preparation of plans for the erection of
a storehouse approximately 80 feet by 42 feet with two storeys and a basement.
The plans were issued in August but owing to estimated cost being higher than
anticipated it was decided to reduce the length of the building by 20 feet and
the plans were revised accordingly. In October the contract was let to Muxlow
and Gale for a building 60 feet long. Construction was commenced by the
contractor in October. The formal contract was forwarded to the Windsor
Hydro-Electric system for signature on October 30, 1922.

Instructions were received in October to purchase on behalf of the Local
Commission a two-ton freight elevator for the above storehouse. The lighting
and heating layout was made by the Commission's engineer and is so arranged
as to be controlled by electrically operated breakers from the municipal station
adjacent. Heating units of Hydro-Electric Power Commission make will be used.

Tenders for the installation will be called for and the contract let locally.

YORK TRANSFORMER STATION

As additional transformer capacity was required, it was decided in July to
install four of the 5,000-kv-a. transformers purchased from the Canadian General
Electric Company for use on the Niagara system. These transformers have been
placed on concrete foundations located outdoors to the north of the present
station and necessary alterations in building and piping have been made. A
13,200-volt, oil circuit-breaker purchased from the Canadian Westinghouse
Company will be installed for the new transformer bank and at the same time
the 13,200-volt bus will be changed and larger cable installed. These new trans-
formers will be placed in service during November.

1923 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 73

The four 1,250-kv-a. transformers removed from this station will be shipped
to Preston transformer station.

To control the two 13,200-volt lines being erected to feed Weston and Wood-
bridge, two oil circuit-breakers have been purchased from the Canadian Westing-
house Company. It is proposed to have these breakers and the other equipment
for the feeders installed as soon as the 1,250-kv-a. transformers are removed from
the station.

The three 150-kv-a. transformers, together with switching equipment for
two 4, 000- volt feeders from Mimico distributing station, are to be moved to York
transformer station and installed to supply power to Etobicoke township. The
transformers which have recently been repaired by the Operating department
have already been placed in the station.

All this work in the York transformer station is being done by the Con-
struction department.

Etobicoke Distributing Station

In June, 1922, authorization was given to change the metering equipment
on the Brown's Copper and Brass Rolling Mills feeder in this station as. the
existing graphic wattmeter and reactive, kilovolt-ampere meter were not suitable
for this fluctuating load. They were replaced by a Lincoln graphic wattmeter
and a Lincoln reactive, kilovolt-ampere meter. This installation was done
by the Operating department and the meters placed in service on July 20, 1922.

In February, 1922, authorization was given to make the necessary changes
in the metering connections in this station so that the Goodyear load may be
metered separately from that of New Toronto.

This work was done by the Operating department and was completed and
placed in service on May 16, 1922.

Weston Municipal Station

At the request of the Weston Water, Light and Power Commission, engineer-
ing assistance was given covering the purchase of three 300-kv-a., single-phase

In January a galvanized-iron storehouse was constructed on the grounds.
The plans for the high- and low- tension, switching towers and the switching
and control building were started in May, 1922, and completed in August.

The contract for the high- and low-tension switching steel structures was
let in June to the Canadian Bridge Company. This steelwork has been received
and erected by the Construction department.

In July the Construction department started the necessary excavation for
the building and footings and have now constructed the concrete footings for
the switching structures, transformers and breakers, also the transfer track for
transformers.

In August the contract for the steel framework for the switching and con-
trol building was let to the Canadian Bridge Company. This has now been
received and partially erected by the Construction department. In September
the contract for the concrete and masonry of the switching and control building
was let to the Piggott-Healy Construction Company, who have now completed
the concrete basement walls.

The necessary water supply for the station was obtained from the city of

apparatus of Brockville distributing station in order to permit of this station
being operated at 44,000-volts.

The type-"E," 26,400-volt, oil circuit-breaker was replaced by a type-
"G.A.3," 300-ampere, 44,000-volt breaker obtained from Montrose distributing
station on the Niagara system. Three new type-"O.B.," 44,000-volt current-
transformers were transferred from Cornwall to replace the two 26,400-volt
current-transformers. A 44,000-volt, oxide-film lightning-arrester was pur-
chased from the Canadian General Electric Company and was used to replace
the existing 26,000-volt electrolytic arrester in this station. The 26,400-volt
insulators, bus work, line entrances, etc., were replaced by 44,000-volt equipment.
The new 44,000-volt apparatus has been installed in this station in such a manner
as to leave room for a future, second 44,000-volt, incoming line.

The installation of the 44,000-volt apparatus was completed and it was
placed in service first at 26,400-volts on September 3, 1922. Later, on October
1, the voltage was changed over to 44,000-volts.

Chesterville Distributing Station

CORNWALL TRANSFORMER STATION

As projected in last year's Report the installation of four 5,000-kv-a. trans-
formers in their permanent pockets in Cornwall transformer station and the re-
moval and re-installation of the original 1,250-kv-a. bank in the temporary
station were carried out by the Construction department, the equipment being
placed in. service on October 1, 1922, in its permanent location. As the original
transformer pockets were to be used for the new transformers, it was necessary
to install and place the 5,000-kv-a., transformer bank in temporary service out-
doors while the 1,250-kv-a. bank was removed to the temporary station. After-
wards service was changed back to the original transformers and it was then pos-
sible to move the new transformers into their permanent pockets in the station.

Building changes necessary were carried out under instructions issued on
March 10, while the new transformers were in service outdoors.

The capacity of the 15-ton crane was increased to permit of lifting the 5,000-
kv-a. transformer by stiffening the bridge beams with channel iron and purchas-
ing a second identical trolley to operate in conjunction with the present one.

In April a second 30-ton, transformer transfer truck was purchased and
instructions were issued for an extension to the transformer truck runway to
permit of the interchange of the larger transformers within the station.

A 3,300-gallon oil-storage tank was purchased in May, 1922, from the
Toronto Iron Works along with a Canadian Fairbanks Morse No. 4, rotary,
geared, motor-driven oil-pump ordered in August and installed in the basement
of the station. Plans were prepared and instructions issued to the Construction
department during May, covering all changes and additions to the oil and water
piping and the installation of the oil tank which was shipped to the site in June.

The four 750-kv-a., 25-cycle transformers on loan from the Niagara system
were moved outside the temporary station and they have been adequately pro-
tected from the weather. They are being stored at this point until required
elsewhere.

Instructions were received in March, 1922, covering changes in the Cornwall
station to permit of the operation of the St. Lawrence system at 44,000 volts.
Two 44,000-volt, oxide-film arresters were purchased in May, 1922, and installed

graphic-recording, reactive, volt-ampere meter was installed in the Grenville
Crushed Rock Company's substation at Deeks to measure the power being sup-
plied to its plant. This equipment was placed in service on June 23, 1922.

HIGH FALLS GENERATING STATION

Flange pulleys were installed on the 25-kw. exciters to prevent the driving
belt slipping off.
Operator's House

During the year a well was drilled for the supply of drinking water for the
operator's house and material was supplied for fencing in a garden and building
an ice house, the work being done by the operators.

Kemptville Distributing Station

This station, which was fully described in last year's Report, was placed in
service on November 24, 1921.

Perth Distributing Station

Arrangements were made with the Bell Telephone Company at Perth distri-
buting station for the installation of a special switchboard which would permit
the Commission's telephone system to be temporarily connected to the Bell
system at times when it was necessary to use "long distance." This particular
equipment was actually installed in the municipal pumping station which is just
alongside the distributing station so as to be more convenient for the operators.

THUNDER BAY SYSTEM

NIPIGON GENERATING STATION

During the earlier part of the year several details required to complete the
station were carried out, such as installation of hatch covers, painting of floors,
and installation of end-wall fire protection.

1923 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 83

In June an air compressor unit was purchased from the Canadian Ingersoll
Rand Company and instructions were subsequently issued to the Operating
department to install same.
Operators' Houses

During the year purchase were made of pumps and equipment for supplying
the houses and station with water for domestic use, also for fire fighting. The
pumps, tanks, etc., were located in the basement of the generating station and
the work of installation, including piping to the houses, was carried out.

The fire pump was also connected up to the supply pipe to the construction
camps and to the end wall sprinkler line and stand pipe.

The work of erecting the fourth detached house referred to in last year's
Report was not commenced until September, 1922. This house is now being
erected and will be completed during the winter.

OTTAWA SYSTEM

Owing to the growth of load in Ottawa the municipal authorities installed
an additional feeder. An extension to the Commission's metering equipment
was thus necessitated to totalize the load on the system. Work is in hand on
this extension.

CENTRAL ONTARIO AND TRENT SYSTEM

In the 1921 Report it was noted that the work of grounding the neutrals of
the generators was under way. This work has not been proceeded with owing
to complications in the switching equipment.

Auburn Switching Station

The relay protection in Auburn switching station which is one of the loop
stations in the 44,000-volt lines, required alteration to conform to a change in the
system protective equipment for sequence of breaker operation during trouble.
This work was undertaken by the Operating department and completed during
March, 1922. The six 80- to 5-ampere current-transformers in the lines to
Healey Falls and Port Hope were removed and replaced with new currerft-
transformers of the same type of 150- to 5-ampere ratio. Reverse-power relays
were already installed in the line to Healey Falls and it was only necessary to
install a ground relay at this point. New reverse-power and ground relays were
purchased for the line to Port Hope and installed.

Belleville Service Building

The 300-kv. testing transformer and auxiliary equipment, which was
formerly installed in the Sidney Terminal station, was transferred during the
year to the service building in Belleville, as this is a very much more convenient
location for this equipment.

Belleville Lehigh Cement Company Distributing Station

Additional metering, consisting of a polyphase wattmeter with a volt-ampere
demand-transformer, is being installed.

Belleville Switching Station

Ammeters were installed on each phase of the four high-tension lines in
Belleville switching station. This work was completed and placed in service
on June 26, 1922.

To improve the relay protection of the 44,000-volt lines in the loop stations
of the Central Ontario system, a new system of relays and instrument trans-

formers was installed in the Belleville switching station by the Operating depart-
ment and placed in service on June 26, 1922. The two 120-60/5-ampere current-
transformers were removed from the bus-tie switch and installed in conjunction
with identical transformers in the lines to Sidney and Healey Falls to complete a
three-unit bank in these lines.

Six unidirectional relays and two ground relays were purchased and installed
in the two loop lines. Inverse definite-time, overload relays and ground relays
were also installed on the Belleville tap and on the lines to the Belleville Cement
Company and the Lehigh Cement Company.

Brighton Distributing Station

The metering equipment in Brighton station is being supplemented by the
installation of a Lincoln demand-meter.

CAMPBELLFORD GENERATING STATION (DAM NO. 11)

This station was affected by the requirements for more adequate relay pro-
tection in the loop stations on the 44,000-volt lines of the Central Ontario system.
One 160-80/5-ampere transformer was purchased and installed in the line to
Healey Falls to complete a bank of three units. Unidirectional relays and a
ground relay were installed in this line. No other equipment was affected.

This work was completed by the Operating department on August 18, 1922.

Chemical Products Company, Limited

Adequate metering equipment, consisting of graphic meters, was required
in this station owing to the increase in load. This work was completed during
November, 1921.

Cobourg Distributing Station

On account of the increased load at Cobourg, one of the 300-kv-a. trans-
formers was replaced by a 750-kv-a. unit.

Additional heating equipment was installed in order to overcome trouble
with the water piping freezing during winter.

It was found advisable to provide a garage for the patrolman located at
Cobourg.

Colborne Distributing Station

The electrolytic lightning arrester was replaced by one of a water barrel
type. This was placed in service during October, 1922.

FENELON FALLS GENERATING STATION

In order to supply general power house and cottage lightning a service trans-
former was installed in the generating station. This work was placed in service
during December, 1921.

Frankford Canning Company

Lighting and power metering equipment were installed on this company's
property. The installation was completed during October, 1922.

HEALEY FALLS GENERATING STATION

Inadequate relay protection in the loop stations on the 44,000-volt lines of
the Central Ontario system necessitated the installation of a new system of pro-
tective equipment to limit the number of interruptions of stations on the loop to
a minimum. Three current-transformers of 150-300/5-ampere ratio were
purchased for Healey Falls generating station and these were installed in the
44,000-volt line to Auburn. The two current-transformers in this line were
installed in the lines to Sidney and Campbellford, making up a bank of three

transformers in each line. Unidirectional and ground relays were installed in
the three lines. This work was completed during September, 1922.

As this is the key station in the three loops, the neutrals of the three trans-
former banks were solidly grounded, the neutral being brought through the
cover by means of a copper stud. The neutral at this station is grounded under
all conditions of operation. This work was completed by the Operating depart-
ment during September, 1922.

Marmora Distributing Station

Due to high maintenance charges and the small load on this station, the
graphic meters installed at this point were not satisfactory and were replaced
with a demand-meter with a volt-ampere demand-transformer. This was placed
in service during January, 1922.

Newcastle Distributing Station

The electrolytic lightning arrester was replaced by one of the water-barrel
type. This change was made during October, 1922.

Norwood Distributing Station

Due to difficulties in keeping the graphic meters in this station operating
satisfactorily, they were removed and replaced by demand-meters with volt-
ampere demand-transformers, one of each of the above being installed on the
feeder supplying Norwood and Havelock. They were placed in service during
January, 1922.

Peterboro Distributing Station

Revised estimates for the new substation contemplated by the Peterboro
Public Utility Commission were submitted during the year for the consideration
of the commissioners.

Port Hope Switching Station

Ammeters were installed in this station, on the lines to Trenton and Peter-
boro. The work was completed during June, 1922.

A new system of relays and instrument transformers was purchased and
installed in the Port Hope switching station and placed in service on April 5,
1922. The existing line current-transformers and also those on the 44,000-volt
line to Oshawa were replaced with nine 150-300/5-ampere current-transformers,
three being installed in each line. Unidirectional and ground relays were in-
stalled in the lines to Auburn and Sidney stations, while inverse definite time
overload relays and a ground relay were installed in the Oshawa feeder. The
removed equipment was used at other points.

This work was undertaken by the Operating department.

RANNEY FALLS GENERATING STATION

Progress

During the year the building plans were completed and plans for oil, water
and air systems were undertaken and completed. Purchases were made of water
and oil pumps, lubricating-oil filter, oil tank and air compressor. Instructions
were issued to the Construction department for the installation of all the above
material and numerous inspections were made of the work.

In the endeavour to have this station ready for service for the autumn
load construction work was carried on through the winter and the following is
an outline of the progress made.

Steel work erection was started on December 1, 1921, and completed on
January 21, 1922.

The generator-room crane was erected on February 8, 1922.

The gate-house crane was erected on February 11, 1922.

The concrete-switch-structure was completed on May 13, 1922.

The roof was completed on June 17, 1922.

Generator erection began on April 8, 1922, and the first unit was placed in
service on August 22, 1922, and the second on September 5, 1922. At the
present time power is supplied from this station to the Central Ontario System
net-work over the Healey Falls — Sidney, 44,000-volt line only. Provision has
been made also to tie into the Campbellford-Stirling, 44,000-volt line but this
line has not as yet been extended to the station. No low-tension feeders have
been installed although provision has been made for them.

In general, the entire building construction and installation of all the equip-
ment with the exception of the ventilating system for the control room were
completed by the end of October, 1922.

A full description of this plant with illustrations follows.
Building Superstructure

The superstructure which measures 106 feet by 85 feet including the gener-
ator room, the switch-rooms, control-room and gate house is constructed of a
structural steel frame with reinforced concrete floor and roof slabs and with
walls of concrete and stone masonry.

The base and plinth up to the top of the sills of the large semi-circular-arched
windows is of concrete with rubbed finish while above the sills the walls are of
broken-coursed, squared-stone masonry pointed in chocolate-coloured mortar,
the interior of the walls except in the gate house being lined with three-inch,
hollow- tile plastered. The inside of exterior walls of the gate house has the
plaster applied to the stonework. The walls are surmounted by a heavy concrete
coping.

The choice of material for constructing the walls was made on account of the
close proximity of blue gray limestone, the greater part of which was obtained
from the tailrace excavation dump.

The concrete roof slab is covered by tarred felt and gravel roofing with
metal flashing.

The interior walls are built of concrete or hollow tile, the concrete walls
being constructed to support equipment. The interior tile walls are plastered
on both sides.
Crane Service

The generator room is served by a 35-ton, electrically-operated, overhead,
travelling crane with a 10- ton auxiliary hook.

The gate house is served by a 7-ton overhead crane with motor-driven hoist
and hand-operated trolley and bridge.

Alternating-current motors are used on these cranes.
Generators

The installation consists of two vertical-shaft units located on 40-foot centres.
They were built and installed by the Canadian General Electric Company. The
machines are normally rated at 4,500-kv-a., 3-phase, 60-cycle, 6,600-volt, 120
revolutions-per-minute, at 80 per cent, power factor with 40°C ambient air
temperature, but they are capable of carrying 5,300-kv-a., at 80 per cent, power
factor continuously with cooling air at an ambient temperature of 15 degrees
centigrade. The overall diameter of the stator is 20 feet 9 inches and that of the
rotor over the pole faces 17 feet 9}^ inches. The stator frame is 3 feet 8 inches

high and the overall height. of the machine above the main floor level to the top
of exciter is 13 feet 11 inches. The shaft extends 5 feet below floor level where it
is bolted through a flanged coupling to the turbine shaft. The rotor is so de-
signed that no fan blades are required to force cooling air (30,000 cu. ft. per min.)
through the stator laminations and windings. After passing through the genera-
tor this air will be re-circulated during winter time for heating the station. In
summer, air will be taken directly from outside the station and exhausted into
the generator room and passed out through the monitor on the generator-room
roof as well as through the generator-room windows.

The rotor is made of cast steel all cast in one piece and has a suitable rim
for the application of brake shoes. It was subjected to overspeed tests before
shipment from the factory.

The stator frame is of cast iron in two sections and the upper bearing bracket
is also made in two sections but of cast steel. Special leveling and adjusting
screws were put in the base and lower bracket and similar ones were placed in
the arms of the upper bracket for raising and lowering the complete rotor and
runner and are also used when dismantling the thrust bearing. The armature
coils have mica tape insulation.

The thrust bearing supplied with each generator is the standard General
Electric spring type. It is capable of carrying a load of 190,000 pounds which
takes care of the weight of rotor and total downward thrust due to turbine. It
is equipped with an overflow and oil will be circulated to it from the oiling system
installed in the station. A sight flow indicator is placed in the oil supply pipe.
These bearings are also equipped with water-cooling coils to remove the heat
from the oil, and a Bristol recording thermometer is mounted on each generator
stator frame to record the bearing temperatures.

These units are each equipped with an upper and lower guide bearing.
Independent pipes with sight flow indicators control the oil feed and overflows
from these bearings.

Special fire fighting apparatus has been provided on each machine consisting
of pipe rings located around the top and bottom end connections of the stator
windings provided with small nozzles, placed approximately every 15 inches.
These nozzles are set at an angle such that when they come into action the end
connections are covered with a spray of water. The control of the water to
these pipes is located in the switchboard room and the operator has first to make
a flexible hose connection and then turn on the valve.

The units are also equipped with air brakes supported on the lower bracket
arm. Controls for these are in duplicate, one located beside the governors on
the main floor and the other in the switchboard room. An electric alarm is
provided to give warning in the event of the air pressure being low.

The generators are star connected. The neutral and main leads are carried
through fibre conduit to a point approximately 15 feet from the generator, where
the main leads are bussed, and the neutral leads are run through current trans-
formers and bussed. Two parallel, varnished-cambric, lead-covered cables
carry the power from this point to the bus in the switch structure. There is a
disconnecting switch placed at this point so that the neutral of either machine
may be dead grounded to the station ground bus.

Differential protection has been provided consisting of three single-pole, 1/2-
\y% ampere relays (induction type) which in case of trouble in the generator or
its main cables, will open the generator main breaker or the emergency-bus feeder-
switch if it is being used as a generator breaker, and both the field switches, one
from the direct-connected exciter and the other from the motor-driven exciter.

The overvoltage protection functions in a similar manner to the differential,
tripping out the same breakers. Overload protection has also been installed to
give warning by ringing, a gong in case of an overload on the unit. A fourth
ammeter has been installed and is connected in the neutral of the current trans-
formers where it will indicate when the circuit is grounded and the extent of the
ground.

The output of each generator is indicated by an indicating wattmeter and
reactive, volt-ampere meter (2,500-0-7,500 scale) and is integrated on a watthour
meter. The output of the two units is totalized on recording wattmeters and
reactive, volt-ampere meters.

Twelve thermocouples were distributed throughout the stator winding for
taking the internal temperatures. A number of these are located on the iron
and others in various places along the slot between the coils.

The complete generator was assembled and tested in the shop.
Excitation

Each 4,500-kv-a. generator is equipped with a 50-kw., 125-volt, shunt-wound,
direct-connected exciter, the armature being carried on a short shaft which is
bolted to the top of the generator shaft. A spare 50-kw., shunt- wound, com-
mutating-pole, 75-horsepower, motor-generator, exciter set has been provided
and can be used for either of the units. There is capacity in each exciter for the
excitation of one generator only, and they are suitable for parallel operation, and
for use with automatic voltage-regulators. The field breakers for the generators
are located on the main floor and the exciter and field leads were made just as
short as it was possible and are lead-covered, single-conductor cables. Two field
breakers are provided for each generator, one controlling the excitation from the
direct-connected exciter and one from the spare motor-generator exciter.

The only rheostats used are placed in the exciter fields. These are located
directly below the field switches and are solenoid operated.
Transformers

The main step-up transformers consist of two 6,600/44,000-volt, 3-phase,
4,500-kv-a., 60-cycle, core-type water-cooled units which were built by the
Canadian General Electric Company and installed by the Construction depart-
ment. They are connected delta on the low voltage (6,600-volt) and star on the
high voltage (44,000 volts). Taps are provided so that voltages of 42,000,
46,000 and 48,000 may be obtained and the neutral of the high-voltage winding
has been brought out through the cover. They are equipped with oil expansion
tanks which are mounted on the main tank. Current-transformers are located
inside the delta to provide for differential protection, the secondary leads of
which have been brought out through the cover in separate bushings. The
cooling coils are self draining. An oil tank with capacity sufficient to take the
oil of one unit has been installed in the basement and is piped to the transformers.

These units are rated at 40 degrees Centigrade rise and have a 125 per
cent, continuous full load rating at a 55 degrees Centigrade rise. The tanks are
boiler plate and are oval shape. Each unit is equipped with an electric-alarm
thermometer, sight-flow water-indicator, oil gauge glasses on both the main and
expansion tank and an oil sampling valve.

The transformers are located on the generator floor, a transfer truck having
been provided so that these units can be readily placed under the generator room
crane. They weigh approximately 17 tons each. The high-voltage side of the
transformers connect direct to the bus through disconnecting switches.

The differential protection for these units requires only the current trans-
formers, noted above, that have been placed inside the delta and one single-pole,

1/2- to 13/2-ampere, induction-type relay. The current transformers and relay
are so connected that unbalanced current only will flow through the relay. A
push button is provided in the tripping circuit through this relay so that when
exciting these power transformers the breakers affected can be made non-auto-
matic. When the differential relay functions the low-voltage breaker or the
emergency-bus feed-breaker if in use and the high-voltage bus-tie and line-
breaker to that section of the high-voltage bus operate automatically. Overload
protection consisting of three single-pole, 4- to 16-ampere, induction-type relays
has also been provided.

Switchboard

All the switchboard apparatus has been mounted on vertical panels. The
framework for the board was designed so that all the vertical wiring would be
enclosed in the upright supports thus affording considerable fire protection to
this wiring. The control, synchronizing and voltage buses are located at the
top brace thus leaving all the rear of the panel free for mounting equipment.
The signal lamps are supplied from a separate bus, the voltage of which is con-
trolled by a rheostat. Multi-contact relays have been installed to permit of
the selective operation of the breakers which are controlled by differential and
over voltage relays.

The temperature equipment which has been installed for each generator is
mounted on panels located at one end of the switchboard. It consists of a
potentiometer-type indicator, a 6-point recorder which has its automatic, cold-
junction compensator self-contained, a twelve-point push-button switch and
bus-bar board for each unit.

Oil Breakers and Structures

The low voltage, oil switch and bus structure were built of reinforced con-
crete. The main walls and barrier were poured and the 2-inch barrier were all
pre-cast and assembled after the main structure was set. Inserts were placed
in the poured portion for mounting all the equipment. Doors are provided up
to a height of six feet. These have panels of asbestos except where they are in
front of disconnecting-switches.

All the breakers are of the solenoid operated type. They all have their
closing-coil circuits interlocked with a synchronizing plug except the station
service and those on the high-voltage lines. The tripping-coil circuit is con-
nected so that it may be supervised by the indications of the signal lamp, which
should be lighted when the breaker is closed.

Cutout switches are mounted on the operating mechanism which permits
the operator to make the switch inoperative when it is being inspected.

The low- voltage breakers have a rupturing capacity of 325,000-kv-a. The
emergency-bus feeder-switch can be used to replace any of the other switches.
Provision has been made to install low-voltage feeders if they are ever required in
the future. The high-voltage switches have a rupturing capacity of 225 ,000-kv-a.
The bus-tie switch is non-automatic and will ultimately form a tie between the
two Central Ontario system trunk lines from Campbellford to Stirling and from
Healey Falls to Trenton. Its chief function will be that of a sectionalizing
switch. Provision has been made for two outgoing, high-tension circuits, but
only the one supplying power to the Healey Falls-Trenton line has been con-
nected up. The line relay protection consists of three single-pole, unidirectional
relays which function when excess power flows out from the station, and one
ground relay which has its tripping contacts connected in series with the watt-
meter elements on the unidirectional relays to provide selective action.

HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION

Station Service

The station service bank of transformers is supplied with power directly
from the main 6,600-volt bus. It consists of three 50-kv-a., 1-phase, 60-cycle,
pole-type, 6,600/550-volt units. The low voltage is taken to the service switch-
board located alongside the main switchboard. Safety-type, quick-make-and-
break switches were used, all the leads to and from these switches were placed
entirely in conduit. These switches control the power supplied for the crane,
the oil and water pumps, the air compressor, heating, lighting, etc.

The lighting is supplied from two 10-kv-a. transformers. The illumination
for all parts of the station is controlled from one central lighting cabinet located
on the switchboard-room floor quite accessible to the operator. In case of
emergency a certain number of the lamps in the different rooms can be readily
connected to the battery by means of a double-throw knife-switch located near
the operator's desk. Electric heating at 550 volts has been provided only in the
switchboard room.

Screened wall openings have been located where required to permit the warm
air from the generator to circulate. It is the intention in severe weather to draw
all the cooling air for the generators from the main generating room closing off
entirely the supply direct from the outside. Provision has been made in the
ventilating duct by means of registers to ventilate and heat the basement and
the pit between the units by drawing air from the generator room.

Forced ventilation by means of a small electric fan has been provided for
the switchboard room and lavatory. This equipment has been so arranged that
air can be drawn from the generator room or direct from the outside of the north
end of the building, thus providing either heating or cooling.
Accommodation

A lavatory including shower bath and locker space is provided on the first
gallery for the accommodation of the operators.

Lubricating Oil System

The generator-bearing lubrication scheme is of the continuous filtering type.
The oil after coming from the bearings passes through a canton flannel bag
filter before again returning to the bearings.

The filter provides space enough in its good oil chamber to contain all the oil
in the system. This feature prevents spillovers in case the system shuts down.
Provision is made so that one half of the filter may be Closed down while cleaning,
without interrupting the oil supply to the generators. Separate supply pipes
control the feed to each of the bearings and these have been equipped with sight-
flow indicators.

An overflow tank, containing enough oil to supply the generators for about
an hour, is mounted on the roof trusses and would continue to supply oil by
gravity to the bearings providing the pumps fail to operate.

The system is provided with an electric alarm to warn the operator in case
the oil supply becomes low. .

Duplicate oil pumps located in the basement, with a capacity of 19 Imperial
gallons per minute each, supply oil to the system.

Compressed Air Supply

An air receiver for operating the air brakes for bringing the generator rotor
to rest is kept charged by means of a small compressor with a capacity of 17
cubic feet of free air per minute installed in the basement of the station. The
brakes are controlled by a valve at the generator as well as in the control room.
Air for cleaning equipment and for small automatic tools may be obtained from
this source.
Cooling Water Supply

As the normal head of the water in the forebay was insufficient as a supply
for all purposes, duplicate pumps were installed in the basement, the water being
taken from the scroll cases. The pumps are rated at 100 Imperial gallons per
minute at 150-feet head and supply cooling water for the thrust bearings of the
generators, for the transformer and the protection of the generators in case of
fire inside a machine.

A sight-flow indicator has been installed on the supply to the thrust bearing
and in the overflow from the transformers.
Grounding

No. 4/0 bare copper wire for grounding has been run throughout the whole
station, embedded as a rule under the floor finish and all the structural steel and
the frames of the machines and other equipment have been connected to it. The
various ground wire loops are brought to one central test link box and independent
leads are taken from this point to the turbine cases and out through the walls of
the station at the north and south. From here they will be carried to a suitable
location for a ground plate. A separate ground has been provided for the
high-voltage arresters.
Battery

A 120-ampere-hour, 60-cell battery has been installed to provide power for
the electric operation of all the breakers and for emergency lighting. The
charging, motor-generator set for the battery (5 kilowatt 7 y% horsepower) was
installed on the main generator-room floor and the control panel was located on
one end of the main switchboard.

Barriers were installed between the bus-tie, disconnecting-switches on the
2,200-volt bus in Seymour generating station. This work was completed in
January, 1922.

As the customers on the Hoards line (6,600 volt) were recently put on the
standard rural basis, it Was necessary to install meters to get the total demand.
Accordingly an "RA" demand-meter was installed and placed in service during
November, 1921.

In order that the amount of power supplied from the town plant at Camp-
bellford might be checked, meters were installed on the tie line at Seymour
generating station. This work was completed and placed in service during
December, 1921.

Adequate relay protection was installed on the tie line between the town

102 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

plant and Campbellford and Seymour generating station, the work being com-
pleted during November, 1921.

SIDNEY GENERATING STATION

Adequate fire protection equipment was installed during January, 1922, for
the protection of the cottages at this generating station. The experimental
brake installed for one of the generators in this station has proven satisfactory.
It is intended to install brakes on the other units during 1923.

SIDNEY TERMINAL STATION

A new system of relays with instrument transformers of suitable capacity
was installed during September, 1922. Unidirectional relays were installed in
the loop lines to Healey Falls generating station and Belleville terminal station,
and inverse, definite-time, overload relays in the line to Port Hope. Inverse,
definite-time, overload relays were also installed in conjunction with the uni-
directional relays and overload relays for ground protection. Nine current-
transformers of 300-150/5-ampere ratio were purchased and replaced the 80- to
5-ampere bushing-type current-transformers on the lines.

As it is customary to operate this system at times in two sections with
Sidney terminal station in the southern section and Healey Falls in the northern
section it was decided to arrange the neutrals of the transformer banks in Sidney
station to provide for efficient means of grounding at this point with the least
possible delay. Healey Falls is grounded at all times w^th the system operating
as one unit and this is sufficient until such time as it is necessary to operate the
system in two sections.

Special bushings were purchased for bringing out the neutral lead from the
terminal board in the transformer. Disconnecting switches were installed in
this lead to cut the neutral clear of ground when not required. This work was
completed in October, 1922.

NIPISSING SYSTEM

BINGHAM CHUTE GENERATING STATION

Power requirements of the Nipissing system in the past year have neces-
sitated the development of an additional source of power. In July, 1922, it was
decided to proceed with the development of the Bingham Chute power site with
a view to having power available for the Nipissing system early in 1923. Three
300-kv-a. transformers and one 450-kw. generator are available for this station
from the Nipissing generating station. This equipment was removed at the
time of the installation of the 1,400-kv-a. generator and the bank of three 900-
kv-a. transformers in that plant.

One generator will be installed, and when this unit is in operation it is the
intention to dismantle the second 450-kw. generator at Nipissing and install it
at the Bingham Chute plant.

Nipissing Ranger Shanties

Instructions were received in October, 1921, covering the erection of two
ranger shanties, one at Surprise Lake, the other at Clear Lake storage dams.
These shanties were erected by the Operating department and were completed
on March 23, 1922.

NORTH BAY GENERATING STATION

A 150-kv-a., alternating-current generator damaged in the North Bay
generating station and repaired by the Canadian Westinghouse Company was
subjected to inspection and test prior to being returned to North Bay.

116 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

SECTION V

HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION

During the past year much valuable work was initiated and brought to
completion by the Hydraulic department. This included the completion of
the St. Lawrence River report, which is now before the International Joint
Commission for consideration. Steady progress has been made on the Queenston-
Chippawa development; four units having been placed in operation, with the
prospect of number five being ready shortly.

On the Central Ontario and Trent system, the Ranney Falls development
has been completed, and the units put on commercial load.

In addition to these major activities, surveys and hydraulic studies have
been made in considerable number, with the result that many valuable data,
respecting the regimen and regulation of our provincial rivers have been obtained.

The Commission has, as previously, acted in an advisory capacity to many
of the municipalities, in some cases rendering more practical assistance by
making surveys and drawing up plans.

These matters are referred to at greater length below.

NIAGARA SYSTEM
QUEENSTON-CHIPPAWA DEVELOPMENT

Hydraulic Construction

The method of procedure for the completion of the canal and power house
has been fully described in the report of this department for 1921.

Briefly, the status of the work in November, 1921, was as follows:

At the power house, foundations were in place for three main turbines,
with two of the turbines set in position. The building was completed sufficiently
to house units Nos. 1 and 2, at that time being erected. Some work had been
done in preparing the foundation for No. 4 turbine. The penstock for unit
No. 1 was in position and work was proceeding on the erection of penstocks
for unit No. 2 and the service units.

The substructure for the screen-house was practically complete for the nine
units, and superstructure erected for six units. The shaft for the main elevator
was under construction.

The forebay was complete, except for cleaning-up.

The canal was in an advanced stage of construction. The five large shovels
were working on a schedule to complete excavation about the end of November,
and these shovels were being followed by scaling operations and six complete
lining plants. Practically all of this work was going on in the section between
Lundy's Lane and Montrose.

The control-gate at Montrose was being assembled.

The work was in progress on the construction of the double-track bridge
crossing the canal on the main line of the Michigan Central railroad at Montrose.

H8 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

The dredge "Boone" was still working at Chippawa in preparation for the
coming year's work.

The work done during the fiscal year 1922 resulted in the completion of
the canal; further extension of the power house; river dredging and the con-
struction of the initial installation of the intake at Chippawa.

Power House

During the year covered by this report, the power house was extended to
provide for the first five units and the temporary end was under construction
to house in this section of the building. Four turbines and Johnson valves
were practically complete, and the fifth turbine and valve under construction.
All five main penstocks were complete, as was also the service penstock.

Erection was proceeding with the administration building, at the south
end of the screen-house, and the placing of structural steel in the main elevator
shaft.

On December 24, water was admitted to the canal and forebay, and the
power house was officially opened by the turning on of No. 1 unit on December
28, 1921. (See frontispiece.) Units went into commercial operation as follows:

No. 1 unit on January 26, 1922.
No. 2 unit on March 16, 1922.
No. 3 unit on August 11, 1922.
Canal

Excavation of the canal was completed on November 30, 1921; three of
the five shovels finishing their assigned work within three days of this date.

The concreting of the floor and walls of the canal was finished on December
21, and immediately thereafter all of the excavating and concreting plants were
withdrawn from the canal; about 5,000 tons of construction plant being removed
from the lined section of the canal in the five succeeding days.

During the latter stages of the work, the dredge "Hennessey" was working
in the vicinity of the dam between the dry section of the canal and that which
had been excavated by dredging, and on December 24, 1921, the remainder of
the core between the two sections was removed and water was allowed to enter
the canal through a small channel, thus supplying water to turn over the first
unit at the power house.

Dredging was continued for a month thereafter at this point, in order to
provide a sufficient waterway for operation purposes.

Intake and River Section

The dredge "Boone" was shut down on November 8, 1921, having completed
its work for the season. By that date the cofferdams, surrounding the site of
the intake structure, had been finished and unwatering was commenced.

The site of the intake was completely unwatered and pumps were
maintained in operation for about a month. By this time it was proved that
the cofferdams were watertight, and it was then decided to discontinue pumping.
In the spring, water had risen within the cofferdams to a considerable height,
owing to the natural drainage which reached it from the land side.

In April, 1922, a contract was let to Messrs. Tomlinson, Macaw and Mac-
donald, of Winnipeg, for the construction of the intake and ship channel at
Chippawa, and active work in connection with this contract was commenced
immediately after tfie final unwatering of the site in April.

This contract comprised the construction of a breast wall parallel to the
direction of the flow of the Niagara river, containing six main openings with
retaining walls at each end. Between the main structure and the upstream

shore, there is built a ship channel 80 feet in width, providing for the installation
of a single pair of lock gates. The shore of the Niagara river above the ship
channel is protected by crib-work for a short distance, and between the intake
structure and the standard river section the slopes are protected by hand-laid
rip-rap. The whole structure, including the inner basin, occupies an area of
about 20 acres.

The work was prosecuted diligently throughout the summer, and the
excavation was advanced sufficiently to permit of a start being made on the
concrete structure on July 8, 1922.

The contract called for the completion of this work by December 1, 1922,
and the progress of the work to date would indicate that the contractor will be
able to meet the prescribed schedule in so far as the erection of the structure is
concerned, although it is probable that the withdrawal of the sheet-piling in
the cofferdam will not be accomplished until some time during the winter.

A contract was awarded in April, 1922, to Messrs. E. O. Leahey and Com-
pany, Limited, of Ottawa, for the dredging of the river section and the upper
portion of the canal, to provide sufficient waterway for five units. The con-
tractor immediately arranged for the construction of a new hydraulic dredge
for this work, delivery of which was promised in July. Construction of this
dredge was not carried on with sufficient speed to secure delivery by the date
promised, and the contractor was requested to commence excavation using
another dredge, which he leased for the purpose. This dredge started work
about August 1, and continued during the year.

Parts of the new dredge "Stewart" commenced to arrive at Chippawa in
July, and the contractor immediately commenced the installation of the
machinery. This dredge was put in commission on October 26, 1922.

The first work undertaken was the removal of the earth in the vicinity of
the Michigan Central Railway bridge at Montrose, which had been completed
in July, and it is expected that the channel under this bridge will be in use in
December, 1922. The dredge will then continue to excavate under the contract,
first working in those localities requiring immediate attention.

Bridges

During the past year progress has been made on bridges across the canal.
The M.C.R.-G.T.R. Main Line Arch which was completed last year has been
backfilled. The M.C.R. Montrose Bridge was completed in August, the steel
superstructure having been erected by the Canadian Bridge Company. With
reference to the N.S. & T.R. Arch — the barrel of which was completed two
years ago by the Commission — a contract was let, late in the summer, for con-
struction of the wing walls, and a start has been made on this work. Contracts
for the substructures, flooring and backfilling of the Highway Bridges at Lundys
Lane, Portage Road and Thorold Road were let to Messrs. Campbell and
Lattimore, and for the steel superstructures to the Canadian Bridge Company.
The work was started in June and by the middle of September all the piers and
abutments were finished. Since then the Bridge Company has made good
progress with the superstructure of the Lundys Lane bridge.

SEVERN SYSTEM

Severn River

A reconnaissance survey and preliminary estimate was made with regard
to developing power at Port Severn on the Severn river in conjunction with the

1923 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION [21

present canal scheme for the purpose of supplying the demand on the Severn
system.

This development is situated at the point where the Severn river enters
Georgian bay; there being at this location a fall of twelve to fourteen feet.
During the canalizing of the river the Department of Railways and Canals
placed a concrete dam at this point and installed a lock, leaving the necessary
sluiceways for the development of power. The site of the power house is there-
fore well defined. The power developed at this plant would approximate 2,000
horsepower.

MUSKOKA SYSTEM

Muskoka River

The plant, owned and operated by the Commission and situated on the
South branch of the Muskoka river, was purchased by the Commission from the
municipality of Gravenhurst in 1914. Since that time an additional unit has
been added, but, owing to the continuous and increasing demand from Graven-
hurst and the surrounding municipalities, it has been necessary to purchase
additional power for distribution from the Bracebridge municipal plant. As
this supply is neither dependable enough nor large enough in quantity, it has
therefore become necessary to install another pipe line and unit in the South
Falls plant. This entails the development of further storage, and plans are
now being prepared with the purpose in mind of proceeding with the work at
an early date.

ST. LAWRENCE SYSTEM

St. Lawrence River

The Commission's Statement and Engineering Report, dealing with the
development of the St. Lawrence river, was submitted to the International
Joint Commission at a Public Hearing in Ottawa on November 14 and 15, 1921.
The report is based on the surveys and investigations carried on during the past
three years, and includes plans and estimates of three alternative schemes of
development of the international reach of the river for power and navigation.
A great amount of data regarding river discharge and elevation, topographic
features, rock elevations, etc., have been collected and plotted. Numerous
maps and diagrams on which this information is plotted are now on file in addition
to those submitted in the report.

Studies have been continued of systems by which the out-flow from lake
Ontario might be regulated in order to benefit power and navigation to the
greatest extent possible, and observations have been made of the formation
and movement of ice in the river.

THUNDER BAY SYSTEM

Nipigon Development

Owing to the rush schedule on the Nipigon development, and the necessity
of producing commercial power by December, 1920, it was found that it would
be impossible to complete the concrete dam before the winter season. It was

122 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

therefore decided to postpone construction until the following spring. In order,
however, that water might be obtained in sufficient supply to operate the two
machines installed, it was necessary to build a temporary rock-filled crib dam.
This was placed in such a manner that it might be used as a cofferdam during
construction of the concrete section which was to be placed a short distance
down stream during the coming spring.

During construction of the main dam the flow of the river, over and above
that necessary for turbine operation, was discharged through the supply pipes
which had been built for future additions to the plant. The dam, which is of
the concrete gravity type and built on solid rock, was completed during the
latter part of 1921, after which the temporary cofferdam was removed.

The dam having been completed, little remained to be done except the build-
ing of the fishway. This was necessary in order to comply with the requirements
of the Department of Game and Fisheries that means should be provided for
fish to travel up and down the river.

CENTRAL ONTARIO AND TRENT SYSTEM

Ranney Falls Development

During the year the new development at Ranney Falls was practically
brought to completion. The substructure being practically complete at the
end of last year, work was begun on the erection of the equipment and super-
structure, with the result that power was delivered on the line during the summer
of 1922.

The intake for the plant is through sluiceways built by the Department
of Railways and Canals at the time the Trent Valley canal was constructed.
Through these, water enters the forebay, and thence is conducted to the wheels
through concrete supply pipes and scroll cases. The turbines built and designed
by the Boving Hydraulic Company, of Lindsay, Ontario, are of the vertical
single discharge type, equipped with Moody draft tubes, and develop 5,000
horsepower each under 47-foot head when operating at a speed of 120 rev.
per minute. The superstructure of the power house was finished in natural stone
excavated from the power-house site, and therefore has an appearance in keeping
with its surroundings.

Dams No. 8 and No. 9, Trent River

Owing to the continuously increasing demand for power on the Central
Ontario system, it has been almost impossible to keep pace with the requirements
of the municipalities, without seriously overloading all available plant. To
eliminate this condition, and to provide a reasonable margin of capacity for
future needs, plans and estimates have been made for the development of power
at Dams No. 8 and No. 9 on the Trent canal, some five miles below Campbell-
ford. At the time the Department of Railways and Canals constructed the
waterway, provision was made at these points for future power development,
so that any development scheme must be confined within certain prescribed
limits and be approved by the Department.

It is proposed to develop Dam No. 8 for approximately 6,600 horsepower,
and there is available here a head of about 36 feet. It is proposed to develop
from the available head of 24 feet at Dam No. 9, about 4,000 horsepower.

1923

HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION

123

[24 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

Since these sites are very closely related, it is likely that construction will pro-
ceed on both at the same time.

The appropriation for this work has been secured, and construction will
be commenced in the spring of 1923.

Trent River

During the past few years the Commission has retained in this district a
competent engineer in order that complete studies might be made of the regimen
of the Trent river and tributary streams. Stream-flow measurements have
been made at various points, and efforts have been made to rate satisfactorily
the power houses, in order that reliable flow records might be obtained.

Extensive studies have been made in order to determine the storage
available on this river and the control of its flow, and very satisfactory results
have been obtained.

Crow River

In order that the flow might be augmented for plants on the Trent
river, studies have been made with regard to obtaining storage on the Crow
River watershed. With this end in view, a dam was recently constructed at
the outlet of Kashabog lake which impounded some 28,000 acre-feet. The
investigation is proceeding and it is likely that in the near future further dams
will be built on this watershed.

NIPISSING SYSTEM

South River

Owing to the increased demand on the Nipissing system and the ever-
growing needs of the district, it was necessary that an additional source of power
be obtained. With this end in view, a survey was made and plans drawn up
for a possible development at Bingham chute on the South river. This site is
near the village of Powassan. The head at the site is approximately 45 feet,
permitting of a development of about 1,300 horsepower. An estimate was
made and submitted to the Commission and the necessary appropriation having
been authorized, construction will proceed as early in the spring of 1923 as weather
permits.

MISCELLANEOUS

Aux Sable River

At the request of the municipality of Massey, situated on the Aux Sable
river, a tributary of the Spanish river which flows into Georgian bay, a recon-
naissance is being made to determine whether a satisfactory hydro-electric
development could be made at that point to supply the town. Massey is a
growing town near the north shore of the Georgian bay, which is served by the
Canadian Pacific railway. Its chief industries are lumbering and the manu-
facture of pulp. It was considered locally that if there were a possibility of a
development in the immediate vicinity, power for local requirements might be
made available at reasonable rates.

1923 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 125

Saugeen River

Owing to the increased needs of the district, it will be necessary shortly to
augment the supply of power in the Eugenia district. With this end in view, a
detailed survey was made some years ago of the Saugeen river in the vicinity
of lake Huron. This scheme would provide somewhat over 100 feet of head
and make possible a development of approximately 12,000 horsepower. Some
further investigations will be necessary to establish definitely the feasibility
and economy of this scheme.

Seguin River

Following the request of the municipality of Parry Sound, as mentioned
in last year's report, further investigations were made with regard to the storage
possibilities of the Upper Seguin River watershed. This entailed surveys,
b>oth instrumental and reconnaissance in nature, particularly since the munici-
pality had for some time past been in trouble regarding drowned land claims
for sto r age already developed. It was necessary, therefore, to survey and list
these claims in order that the municipality might be able to make satisfactory
settlement.

St. Mary River

At the request of the municipality of Sault Ste. Marie, a reconnaissance
was made of the existing situation with regard to the possibilities of producing
additional power from the St. Mary river for the use of the municipality. In
connection with this, the Commission's engineers made a survey of the rapids
and developed therefrom the contours along the river bank. Based on this
survey, a preliminary report is in course of preparation.

Thessalon River

At the request of the municipalities of Thessalon and Bruce Mines, a recon-
naissance survey was made of the power possibilities of the Thessalon river,
to determine the advisability of developing power thereon for the joint use
of both municipalities. A preliminary report was prepared and submitted to
the municipalities for their information.

Vermilion River

At the request of the town of Capreol, a reconnaissance was made of the
Vermilion river as a possible source of power supply for the municipality. The
Vermilion river is a tributary of the Spanish river which flows into Georgian
bay and on which good facilities for storage are available. Capreol is a divisional
point on the Canadian National Railways system, and the shops for that division
are located at this point. The surrounding country is noted for its wood-pulp
industries and mineral deposits. The head obtainable at the proposed develop-
ment is 25 feet, and approximately 650 horsepower could be developed.

The distribution system in Alvinston was reconstructed by the Com-
mission's staff on behalf of the village. A 4,000-volt line was constructed from
Watford to Alvinston and the Alvinston system was made alive on March 22,
1922. Assistance was given to the local management in connection with supply-
ing power customers and also in connection with putting the system on a satis-
factory operating basis.

Aylmer

Owing to the increased use of domestic appliances during the year, ex-
tensions to the distribution system were required. The system originally was
designed and installed to take care of a lighting load and the power requirements
at that time. Engineering assistance was given to the local Public Utilities
commission in connection with the extensions to the system and in matters of
operation.

Belle River Village

By-laws for $13,500 were passed by this village on July 13, 1922, and work
was commenced by the Commission's staff on the building of the street lighting
and distribution system. Sufficient contracts were secured to put the system
on a paying basis from the start.

Plans were completed for a 26,400-volt line from Essex station to the village,
and arrangements were made for the construction of an outdoor-type station
at Belle River. It is anticipated that power can be supplied about December,
1922.

Burford

During the past few years the municipality of Burford has been considerably
extending its system. In 1922 it became necessary to issue additional deben-
tures for $4,000, to take care of extensions. Engineering assistance was given

On April 9, 1922, the Forest distributing station and the Forest system
was changed from 2,200 to 4,000 volts, and additional station equipment installed
to supply the village of Thedford.

Gait

The new office building and substation was completed and formally opened
on July 28, 1922. It is located in the centre of the city and is, therefore, advan-
tageously situated both from a distribution and service standpoint. The
building and equipment is modern in all respects, all switching being electrically
operated by remote control from the operating room. This station receives
all the power used by the city at 13,200 volts, and, in addition to the 2,200-volt
feeders, has two outgoing 13,200-volt lines to local substations.

The office part of the building has, in addition to the general office, a large
display and storeroom for domestic appliances. An extensive merchandising
business is carried on for the benefit of the consumers and a wiring department
is also maintained to complete the service which is supplied.

Goderich

Additional demands for power necessitated some changes in the system to
supply a large elevator company and a number of other large consumers.
Assistance in connection with plans, etc., was given by the Hydro-Electric
Power Commission.

Hensall

Assistance was given to the local superintendent respecting a few extensions
to improve the local service and also to improve the power-factor of the dis-
tribution system. Advice was also given in connection with matters pertaining
to the operation of the local system.

Hespeler

The changes in the distribution system referred to in the 1921 report have
been practically completed. The general increase in power load and the
increased use of domestic appliances has necessitated increasing the capacity of
the transformers in the local substation.

Kitchener

Conferences have been held with the engineers of the Commission in regard
to new stations and circuits to supply the ever increasing loads. Considerable
changes and revisions have been made in the distribution system in addition
to new lines on King Street East.

Lambeth

As the local village distribution system required changes to provide better
service for domestic loads, the Trustee Board of the village requested assistance
to make the necessary changes. The services of an expert lineman were secured
to overhaul the distribution system in general and improve the service.

Lucan

During the year engineering assistance was given the local commission
respecting extensions to the local distribution system to improve the domestic
service in the village, these extensions being necessary as a result of the larger
use of domestic appliances. Matters of local management were taken up from
time to time during the year.

Assistance was given in connection with betterments and extensions to the
distribution system and with the issue of $20,000 debentures to provide both
for serving additional customers and for the provision of heavier lines and
equipment made necessary by the additional use, on a large scale, of ranges
and other domestic appliances.

Niagara Falls

To provide for the large increase in power consumption during the year,
due chiefly to large growth in domestic uses, it became necessary to increase the
substation capacity and also that of the lines. Engineering assistance was
given to the municipality and debentures were issued by it to the extent of
$100,000 for this work.

Port Colborne

Engineering assistance was given to this municipality on account of the
extensive reconstruction of its distribution system necessitated by the heavy
increase of domestic use of power. Debentures to the extent of $14,000 are
being issued to cover this work and to provide for a rapidly increasing load.

Port Dalhousie

Owing to the fact that the municipality's distribution system was becoming
old it became necessary to spend a considerable amount of money on its main-
tenance in order to bring it up to standard construction. Approximately $5,000
was spent on this work and on the many necessary extensions and increases to
transformer capacity.

Port Dover

Engineering assistance was given to this municipality in obtaining an
increased number of consumers on its system.

Preston

The distribution system was changed from 2,200 to 4,000 volts and new
circuits erected in order to facilitate the removing of all poles from the main
street. Plans were prepared for the remodelling and completion of the dis-
tribution system, made necessary by the steady increase in load of power
customers and domestic users. j£

Money and enabling by-laws were passed providing for the management
as a separate unit, and on the same basis as an urban municipality, of that
portion of the distribution system lying within a defined area in the southern
part of the township. Estimates were prepared covering the cost of the dis-
tribution system so set apart.

Stratford

The increasing demand for current, especially for domestic appliances,
was responsible for the request by the municipality for assistance in purchasing
additional station equipment. Plans are being prepared for changing from
2,300 volts delta to 2,300 volts "Y" and a 1,500-kv-a. transformer has been
ordered for the local substation. The Appliance department, which has been
carried on successfully during the year, has rendered a much needed service,
as shown by the volume of sales.

25-cycle generator to replace the old single-phase, 60-cycle unit. The new
generator is now being used to suppress the peak on the municipality's system.
This generator is operated by water power on the old Welland canal, which power
has been used by the municipality for some years. To provide for this new plant
and also for extensions to its distribution system, additional debentures to the
extent of $5,000 were issued by the municipality.

Wallaceburg

A contract was entered into with the Dominion Sugar Company for the
supply of power for the operation of its electric furnaces. Power was formerly
generated by the company itself by the operation of large gas engines. The
26,000-volt line from Wallaceburg Junction to Wallaceburg was double circuited
and an extension was made to the plant of the company. Power was first
taken by the company on March 1, 1922.

Wellesley

Assistance was requested in connection with increasing the capacity of the
local system. Some extensions were made and the secondary systems enlarged
and improved.

York Township

As a preliminary to taking over the portion of the distribution system of
the Toronto and Niagara Power Company lying in the township a complete
inventory and valuation was made of this system. A valuation was also made
of the distribution lines of the Toronto Suburban Railway system in the

Preston Rural Power District

The original Preston Rural district, which consisted of a line from Preston
high-tension station to Breslau, has been increased by the acquisition of the
Blair and Doon systems and by an extension to Freeport and Centreville.
Sufficient contracts have been received to warrant the extension of the Preston-
Breslau line to Bridgeport and Bloomingdale. This system now consists of
15 miles of line serving 140 customers. It is expected that another line will be
built towards New Germany. When this is completed, the township of Waterloo
will have Hydro lines practically throughout the entire township. This rural
district is operated by the Commission, a local superintendent being employed.

Ridgetown Rural Power District

Public meetings were held in the district in the years 1920-21 and sufficient
contracts were obtained to warrant the building of 24 miles of line to serve
55 farm consumers and 67 hamlet consumers. These lines were constructed
by the Construction department of the Commission and power turned on to
the lines on March 10, 1922, by connecting to the Highgate 4,000 volt feeder
supplied from the Commission's distributing station at Ridgetown.

undertaken by local committees. Contracts were obtained for 15 miles of line
for 42 farm contracts and 18 hamlet contracts; also 2 power contracts of 30
horsepower each for power to two large drainage schemes. Construction work
was undertaken by the Wallaceburg Hydro-Electric system on behalf of the
Hydro-Electric Power Commission and it is expected power will be supplied
early in 1923.

Welland Rural Power District

A line approximately one-half mile in length was constructed to give service
to 38 hamlet consumers and was made alive on April 14, 1922.

Woodstock Rural Power District

Public meetings were held in this district and as a result of the efforts of the
committees appointed at these meetings sufficient contracts were obtained to
warrant the construction of 56 miles of rural line to serve 152 farmers and 74
hamlet consumers. Construction was commenced in this district on July 17,
1922, and it is expected that it will be completed by the end of the year. Eight
street lights were installed in Innerkip and it is likely that this number will be
increased during the coming year. The operation of this district is taken care
of by the Commission, a local superintendent being employed who assists the
consumer in every way possible.

ESSEX COUNTY SYSTEM

Extensions were made to the distributing systems in the towns on this
system and heavier capacity supplied to take care of additional consumers and
of the increased use of electricity caused by the more extensive use of domestic
appliances.

Additions to the street lighting system were made in the town of Kings-
ville and preliminary investigations were made and a scheme was submitted
to the council in Leamington for an ornamental lighting system in the business
section.

Changes were made in the distributing system in the town of Essex so that
primary lines and transformers were taken off the main street in the business
section. This action greatly improved the appearance of the street.

1923 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 137

SEVERN SYSTEM

As has been customary in the past years, engineering assistance of a general
nature was rendered to all of the municipalities comprising this system. The
local officials of the various towns were advised concerning the construction
of extensions to distributing lines; service to new customers; the application
of rates; the soliciting of new customers and installations on the premises of
same; the purchasing of proper types of equipment; and in all matters pertaining
to detailed operation. The operating statements of each individual system
were analyzed for the purpose of ascertaining the accuracy of existing rates
and the revision of such, if necessary. This assistance was given the following
municipalities: Alliston, Barrie, Beeton, Bradford, Coldwater, Collingwood,
Cookstown, Creemore, Elmvale, Midland, Penetanguishene, Port McNichol,
Stayner, Thornton, Tottenham, Victoria Harbour, and Waubaushene.

The combined demands of the Severn System municipalities having become
such during the year as to require the entire capacity of the Big Chute generating
station, additional power plant capacity was found to be necessary to supply
future demands, and an investigation was made to determine the most feasible
source of such supply. This investigation involved a study of the possibility
of increasing the output at the Big Chute plant by replacing the existing units
with others of greater output; or, the construction of a development at Port
Severn at the mouth of the Severn river at Georgian bay and operating the
same in parallel with the Big Chute plant; or, connection to the Muskoka
system by means of a transmission line between the South Falls generating station
and Waubaushene or Coldwater — additional power to be obtained by constructing
an extension to the power house at that location — or, a connection to the Niagara
system through the Eugenia lines between Mount Forest and Harriston ; or,
a second pipe line at the Eugenia development. Any one of these possibilities
would provide for the extra power requirements of the Severn system. The
merits of these various methods of securing an additional supply of power are
still being considered, but it is anticipated that a decision will be made a.t once
and construction undertaken early next year. As a temporary means of providing
for the power requirements of the district until such time as the permanent
arrangements have been completed, an agreement for the period of one year
was executed with the town of Orillia whereby a guarantee of 800 horsepower
was secured from the town covering the delivery of this amount of power to the
Big Chute generating station. A meeting was held at Barrie on July 25, at which
representatives- of all the Severn System municipalities were present, as well
as several of the Commission's staff, to discuss any and all matters of a general
nature pertaining to the operation of the system, such as rates, cost of power,
details of administration, etc. At this meeting an Association was formed to
be known as "The Association of Municipalities of the Severn System." Officers
for the coming year for carrying on the work of the Association were elected
at this meeting.

Collingwood

A considerable increase in the demand of this municipality during the year,
amounting to approximately 30 per cent, over last year, has been obtained,
and there is every indication that the local system will soon recover from the
industrial slump which occurred at the close of the War. A new substation
was provided and equipped by the local Utility with the assistance of the Com-
mission, for the supply of power to an industry manufacturing electric castings

138 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

for the general trade, three 300-kv-a. transformers were installed by the Com-
mission for this station. The power is used for the purpose of operating an electric
furnace. This Company's property was formerly used as a large munition
plant during the War. The Shipyard and Dry Dock and other large industries
are also beginning to utilize previously established demands. These loads,
together with the demands of a new industry recently secured by the town,
will enable the local system to recover completely the load of previous years.

Midland

A contract was executed between the Commission and the Grand Trunk
Railway of Montreal covering the supply of approximately 1,000 horsepower
to the company's elevator located in this municipality in the portion known
as Tiffin. To serve this customer, approximately 2,000 feet of 22,000-volt line
was constructed, as well as a brick substation equipped with a bank of three
400-kv-a. transformers together with the necessary switching and protective
equipment. Arrangements were completed during the year by the local system
with the assistance of the Commission for serving a large flour mill. This cus-
tomer is taking about 600 horsepower and is being served at 22,000 volts through
its own substation.

SEVERN SYSTEM— RURAL

Following up the efforts of previous years in connection with rural service
to various townships served from the Severn system, public meetings were held
at different locations, committees organized and assistance given to the various
committees which had previously been appointed. Meetings were held at
Cookstown and Thornton for Essa township, and at Glencairn, Everett and
Lisle for Tossorontio township. Additional work was performed in Innisfil
township and investigations were made covering service at various points
located within the township boundaries. A meeting was held with the council
of the township of Medonte and all details in connection with rural service were
explained, covering service out of Cold water station. Special work was per-
formed in other townships throughout the system, details of which are given
throughout this report.

Flos Township

Various public meetings were held in this township at Phelpston and Elm-
vale, especially covering service to rural customers in the hamlet of Phelpston
and the vicinity, and a canvass of this district resulted in securing approximately
20 contracts. Estimates and rates were prepared and submitted to the local
officials.

Nottawasaga Township

The rural line out of Collingwood station for serving this township, the
construction of which was begun last year, was completed during the current
year and service is now being given to 56 customers. Additional customers
have been added from time to time throughout the year, and extensions to the
original line were made at various points.

Oro Township

Following up the preliminary work performed in this township during
past years in connection with rural service, an agreement was executed between
the township council and the Commission covering general distribution of power
within the township limits, but more particularly for service to the summer
resort district in the vicinity of Shanty Bay, 25 individual contracts having

1923 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 139

been signed between the township and consumers. Approval covering the
capital expenditure for this work has already been given and construction of
the necessary lines for serving the various customers will be undertaken early
next spring. It is anticipated that a considerable farm load will develop from
this initial installation.

Sunnidale Township
Having obtained an insufficient number of contracts, both at Wasaga
Beach and in the vicinity of Stayner, it was found impossible to proceed with
the construction of rural lines in the township during the current year. A
further canvass has been made, however, and revised estimates prepared, and
approximately 50 additional contracts secured. A delegation from the district
discussed details of service with the Commission covering the erection of all
poles for the Wasaga Beach line. With the revised rates on the basis of this
tender, there is every indication of the construction of the Wasaga Beach line
being undertaken early next spring, with service given to approximately 105
contracts (total number of contracts signed to date). It is also anticipated that
this number of customers will be increased to approximately 200 as soon as the
lines are completed and service is. available. Whereas this line will be con-
structed primarily for serving the summer resort district at Wasaga Beach,
and whereas all the contracts signed to date cover summer cottages, there is no
doubt but that a large number of farmers will avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity of taking power from this line as soon as its construction has been com-
pleted.

EUGENIA SYSTEM

Engineering assistance pertaining to operation in general was given to the
various municipalities of this system throughout the year. The local officials
of the individual systems were advised on matters concerning rates, extensions
to distributing lines, the soliciting of new business, the installation of proper
types of equipment, and details pertaining thereto. Special attention was given
to several new towns added to the system last year. The operating statements
of the various local systems were analyzed to determine the necessity of rate
revision where such was found to be necessary. This assistance was given to
the following municipalities: Arthur, Chatsworth, Chesley, Dundalk, Durham,
Elmwood, Flesherton, Grand Valley, Hanover, Holstein, Kincardine, Lucknow,
Markdale, Mount Forest, Neustadt, Orangeville, Owen Sound, Priceville,
Ripley, Shelburne, Tara, Teeswater and Wingham.

An investigation was made covering the purchase of the system now owned
by Mr. J. M. Deagle, of Orangeville, including a development located near the
forks of the Credit river, and serving the villages of Alton and Erin, and part
of the town of Orangeville. A power survey was made of the district served by
this company with the idea of ascertaining the possible demands of other muni-
cipalities in the vicinity, in addition to the demands of the three previously
mentioned, and also to ascertain the possibilities of serving various industries
located in the district. After holding various conferences and giving the matter
very careful consideration, it was decided that it would be impossible for the
Commission to purchase this system and operate it for the benefit of the various
municipalities adjacent to the development, as the possible demands for power
were insufficient to warrant the purchase price plus the capital necessary to
rebuild and reconstruct the plant.

A meeting was held at Durham on May 15, at which representatives of
all the municipalities on the Eugenia system were present, as well as represen-

MO FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

tatives of the Commission's staff, to discuss matters pertaining to the cost of
power and the basis on which such cost was determined, as well as matters
pertaining to the operation of the development and the transmission of power
to the various municipalities served by the system. At this meeting an associa-
tion was formed known as the ' 'Association of the Eugenia System Municipal-
ities/ ' an executive committee was appointed and officers duly elected for the
coming year.

An investigation was made to determine the possibility of securing addi-
tional power for the Eugenia system, various schemes being considered such as
the construction of a transmission line between the nearest point on the Niagara
system at Harriston and Mount Forest, and the installation of a frequency
changer set at the latter point; the construction of a development on the Saugeen
river near Port Elgin ; and the construction of a second pipe line at the Eugenia
plant, bringing the output of same up to 8,000 horsepower. A decision has not
yet been made concerning these various schemes and the investigation will
continue until sufficient data is available for the Commission to form conclusions
as to which one of the three will be adopted. As far as can be ascertained at
the present time, however, in all probability the second pipe line will be installed
some time during the coming year.

Durham

A new outdoor- type substation was constructed, on property formerly
owned by the National Portland Cement Company, consisting of three 100-kv-a.
transformers with the necessary switching and protective equipment for the
purpose of serving a customer requiring between 300 horsepower and 400 horse-
power at that location. This industry was started on a small scale two or three
years ago and has been the means of greatly increasing the power demand of
the town, and has completely compensated for the loss of the National Portland
Cement Company's load.

Meaford

Revised rates and estimates were prepared and submitted covering delivery
of hydro-electric power to this municipality. The valuation of the local system
previously prepared was checked and various meetings were held with the
town council for the purpose of devising some means of making settlement with
the local privately-owned system now serving the town, so that same could
be acquired and the municipality served with Hydro power from the Eugenia
plant. To serve the town with Hydro power, an extension of the transmission
lines to Meaford would be required, together with the construction of a stepping-
down station suitable for delivering the power at distribution voltage. An
enabling by-law was submitted to the ratepayers qualified to vote thereon at
the last January elections and was carried by a large majority. A money by-law
authorizing a debenture issue to cover the purchase of the local system and
the rebuilding of same will be submitted to the ratepayers at the coming January
elections.

Paisley

Estimates and rates were prepared and submitted covering the delivery
of Hydro power to this municipality and every possible assistance was rendered
to the local officials in completing arrangements accordingly.

It is proposed to construct a 4,000-volt line out of Chesley to Paisley
capable of serving rural customers desirous of obtaining electrical energy for
farm purposes. As soon as a sufficient number of contracts are obtained in
Paisley to guarantee the revenue required to pay the cost of service, a trans-
mission line will be constructed.

1923 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 14J

Walkerton

Arrangements were completed for serving the Hanover Cement & Stone
Company's quarry, located near the town of Walkerton, and formerly the prop-
erty of the Commission. The Commission retained possession of the substation
for the purpose of making use of it as a distributing centre for rural power
requirements in the adjacent district as well as to supply power to the company.

EUGENIA SYSTEM— RURAL

Following up the work performed in various townships throughout the
Eugenia system during the past years, assistance was rendered to the various
townships in the preparation of estimates and rates, the holding of public
meetings, discussions with various local officials, the formation of committees
to carry on local investigation and in all matters pertaining to rural service.
This assistance was given specially to the following townships: Arran, Derby,
Elderslie, Egremont and Howick.

Artemesia Township

Arrangements were made for serving the hamlet of Ceylon by an extension
of the primary lines out of the village of Flesherton. A new contract, based on
recent legislation, was executed between the township and the Commission,
and 16 contracts were executed between individual customers and the township.
This extension was placed in service on February 23. Arrangements were also
completed for reconstructing the distributing lines in the hamlet of Eugenia,
and approval was given covering the necessary capital expenditure for carrying-
on the work. The reconstruction of these lines will be undertaken early next
year.

Brant Township

The construction of approximately lj^ miles of rural line in this township
was completed for serving four farms in the vicinity of the Walkerton quarry
substation and power was first delivered to these customers on February 15,
1922.

WASDELLS SYSTEM

At various times throughout the year engineering assistance and advice
was given to the municipalities of the Wasdells system, on operating matters,
on matters pertaining to rates, on extensions to distributing systems, concerning
service to important individual customers, and in all matters pertaining to manage-
ment and administration. Operating statements of the various local systems were
analyzed to determine the necessity of rate revision where required. This
assistance was given to the following municipalities: Beaverton, Brechin,
Cannington, Sunderland and Woodville.

The lines of this system were extended south from Cannington to serve
the municipalities of Port Perry and Uxbridge and the rural communities
adjacent thereto, details of which are given elsewhere in this report.

Port Perry

A distributing system was designed for this municipality and the recon-
struction of the existing system was undertaken by the local officials with the
assistance of the Commission. This municipality receives its service from an
extension of the Wasdells lines south from Cannington to a substation at Green-
bank and power was first delivered during the month of October.

]_42 FIFTEENTH. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

Uxbridge

A distribution system was constructed in this municipality by the local
officials with the assistance of the Commission, and arrangements completed
for receiving power from the extension of the Wasdells system south of Canning-
ton with a substation at Greenbank. Hydro power was delivered to this munici-
pality in October and assistance was given to the local officials in various matters
pertaining to operation under the new conditions.

WASDELLS SYSTEM— RURAL

As in previous years considerable work was performed in the rural districts
adjacent to the Wasdells system and forming a part thereof, such as submitting
information at public meetings and making explanation to the various township
councils and farmers interested concerning rates and the method of obtaining
service. The townships for which this work was performed are as follows:
Brock, Elgin, Mariposa, Reach, Scott and Thorah.

Mariposa Township

Various estimates and rates were prepared and submitted to prospective
customers in this township and several meetings were held in the district and
all matters pertaining to rural service carefully explained. It is anticipated
that in the near future a line will be constructed in this township to serve rural
customers as well as the villages of Little Britain and Mariposa.

Reach Township

A number of contracts were obtained in the hamlet of Greenbank adjacent
to the substation constructed for the purpose of serving the municipalities of
Uxbridge and Port Perry. The hamlet of Greenbank and the rural customers
adjacent thereto will be served from the low- tension lines feeding the above
mentioned municipalities out of Greenbank station. The approval for the
government bonus and for the expenditure covering the construction of rural
lines has been received and the construction work will be undertaken early
next year. Various estimates and rates were prepared covering service to a
number of farmers in the township adjacent to the town of Uxbridge and it is
expected that several of these customers will take advantage of the existing
low-tension line serving this municipality at the present time and will probably
become connected during the coming year.

Thorah Township

A large summer resort load has been built up in this municipality adjacent
to the town of Beaverton and operated by the local officials. Several extensions
were made to the rural lines in this township throughout the year and a large
number of new services added. At the present time approximately 84 customers
located in the township outside of the municipality of Beaverton are being
served from this rural system.

MUSKOKA SYSTEM

Engineering assistance and advice was rendered throughout the year to
the municipalities of Gravenhurst and Huntsville, which receive service from
this system. The operating statements of the two municipalities were analyzed
to determine the necessity of rate revision and the equity of existing rates. The
loads in both municipalities have grown to such an extent that the capacity

1924 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 143

of the generating station has been reached and an investigation is in progress
covering the construction of an extension to the development as well as the con-
struction of a transmission line connecting the Muskoka system with the Severn
system.

ST. LAWRENCE SYSTEM

Radical changes were made on the system during the year, to provide for
the growth of load. Changes in the high-tension station at Cornwall were com-
pleted, increasing the capacity up to 15,000 kv-a. The station is now amply
large enough to meet a considerable growth in load. During the spring and
summer of 1922, the transmission lines were altered, so as to enable the system
to operate at 44,000 volts, and at the end of the year the voltage on the system
was changed from 26,000 to 44,000 volts. This work required changes in several
stations, and the construction of a new station at Monisburg to step down the
power required north of Morrisburg from 44,000 to 26,000 volts. This is the
only portion of the system now operating at 26,000 volts.

The Commission contracted during the year with the Eugene Phillips
Electrical Works, Limited, for a supply of power at Brockville, to operate its
plant, which was undergoing construction at this point. The contract calls for
delivery of 1,100 horsepower, which may be increased up to a maximum of
3,000 horsepower.

The Cornwall Pulp and Paper Company ceased operations in its plant in
December, 1921, and has not yet resumed.

Alexandria

Assistance was given to this municipality on several occasions, in connection
with obtaining additional power consumers. The demand for power for this
system forl922 has increased approximately 60 per cent over the demand taken
in 1921, due to increased demand of additional power and lighting consumers.

Apple Hill

The demand of this police village for 1922 shows an increase of over 200
per cent over the demand taken in 1921, due to increase in the number of lighting
consumers and a power load.

Avonmore

During the year several meetings were held in the vicinity of Avonmore,
for the purpose of obtaining the co-operation of rural residents, to link up the
rural supply with the requirements of the police village, but no results have
been obtained as yet. Assistance was given the police trustees in obtaining
contracts for service from residents of the police village, but sufficient contracts
were not obtained to justify the police trustees in proceeding with the project
of obtaining a supply of power, without the rural district in this vicinity joining
in a plan of extending lines to serve it.

Aultsville

Both by-laws were carried by the ratepayers of this police village in January,
1921, and it was proposed to erect a small substation at a point near the village,
to meet the requirements of the village, and adjacent territory.

Assistance was given the police trustees in obtaining contracts for service
from residents of the village, but sufficient contracts were not obtained to ensure
revenue to meet cost, and consequently further action was deferred.

144 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

Cardinal

Requests were received from the council of the village for estimates on the
cost of power and a distribution system. The plan proposed was to supply
the requirements of this municipality from a substation erected within the village,
at a point on the existing high-tension line. Estimates on cost of power and
distribution system were submitted to the municipality, and an engineering
report was furnished its officials on the value of the present plant.

Casselman

In order to obtain the co-operation of the rural district, to link up with this
municipality, public meetings were held during the year in this rural district,
but the interest of the rural residents was not obtained, and consequently the
project of supplying power to the village of Casselman was deferred, as sufficient
demand could not be obtained in the village itself to warrant an extension from
Maxville.

Chesterville

A large part of the power sold in this municipality is delivered to a Con-
densed Milk Company, and in spite of the prevailing depression in the marketing
of such products, the Company's demands for power have maintained. An
effort is being made to build up a load in the district around the municipality
and to extend the service to other municipalities east of the village, in order to
effect a reduction in the cost of delivering the power.

Finch

By-laws for supply of Hydro power were submitted to the ratepayers in
January, 1921, and carried with a large majority. It was proposed to supply
this village from a low-tension line from Chesterville, and to have the rural
community along the line receive service. Some work has been done to obtain
this, and further effort will be made to find an economical way of serving the
municipality.

Lancaster

Assistance was given to the officials of this village in obtaining additional
consumers on the system, and also in obtaining the interest of rural residents
in the vicinity to take service from extensions to the Lancaster system. The
demand of this municipality is about 200 per cent more for 1922 than for 1921.

Martintown

The number of lighting consumers has been increased during 1922, but no
power consumers have contracted for service. The power required by this
police village has increased about 250 per cent in 1922.

Maxville

The demand of this village shows an increase of about 100 per cent over
the demand for 1921. There was a gradual increase in the number of lighting
consumers, but no increase in the number of power users during the year.
Assistance was given to this municipality respecting additional power con-
sumers.

Newington

This municipality passed by-laws for Hydro service in January, 1921,
and it was proposed to supply the police village from an extension from Finch,
but no action was taken during the year.

1923 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 145

South Lancaster

A request was received from the police trustees for an estimate on the cost
of power and a distribution system. Both estimates were submitted, but further
action was not taken by the trustees on account of the possibility of an insufficient
number of residents taking service. Arrangements have been completed whereby
those residents who want service are to be supplied as part of the Martintown
rural district.

St. Isadore de Prescott

By-laws for Hydro power were carried by the ratepayers of this police village
in January, 1921, but further action was deferred, pending the co-operation
of the rural residents in extending a line to this municipality and the village of
Casselman.

Williamsburg

The service from the small transformer substation erected to supply this
municipality has been satisfactory, and an improvement over the preceding
year, when a serious interruption occurred.

Winchester

The demand of this municipality is practically the same as for 1921. There
was an increase in the number of lighting consumers, but no increase in power
consumers.

Winchester Springs

Further action was deferred concerning a supply of power to this police
village, pending the decision of the rural residents to enter into the scheme.
Some preliminary plans were prepared on a scheme to erect a small special
transformer station Which would serve the village, but would not permit of
extending service to the adjoining rural community.

ST. LAWRENCE SYSTEM— RURAL

During the year preliminary engineering was carried on in established
rural districts, as well as in rural districts not established.

Work in the following approved rural districts on the St. Lawrence system
was taken up :

Alexandria District

Public meetings were held in this district in 1921, but no requests were
received for further information in 1922.

Apple Hill District

Several public meetings were held during the year in this district, at which
a representative from the Commission was present to explain the basis on which
power is distributed to rural residents.

Chesterville District

Rural residents. in this district have been receiving a supply since April,
1921, and during 1922 there was an extension of the line to supply additional
farmers. A readjustment of rates was also made, in order to make them conform
to a scheme now adopted throughout all rural sections.

Maxville District

Several public meetings were attended by a representative of the Com-
mission.

146 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

Prescott District

This district is now being supplied with power out of Prescott substation
by the Commission. This district includes the village of Spencerville, in which
there are 44 consumers, and since the advent of Hydro, a new sash and door
factory has been erected, which will use about 20 horsepower. A number of
farmers in the vicinity are now using Hydro power.

In response to a petition, estimates have been submitted for street lighting
in Spencerville.

RIDEAU SYSTEM

The amount of power taken by the Rideau system has shown a consider-
able increase during the year 1922. The municipalities of Kemptville and Lanark
have been added to the system, and the Grenville Crushed Rock Co. has con-
tracted with the Commission for a supply of power for the next three years.
The various industrial plants in the other municipalities have maintained their
loads, and there has been the usual normal increase in the lighting and appliance
service in all the municipalities on the system. Only a small portion of the power
required was purchased from the Rideau Power Company. The greater part of
the load was met by the Commission's plant at High Falls.

The financial statement of the system reflects the results of this increase
in the sale of power and the loading of a generating plant.

Carleton Place

Improvements have been carried out on the distribution system in Carleton
Place, and all primary wires and old construction have been removed from the
main street. Owing to the increasing power load, demand meters have now been
installed on all power consumers, resulting in a much more efficient check of
sale of power, particularly in the large woollen mills in this town.

Grenville Crushed Rock Company

This company has contracted with the Commission for a maximum of 800
horsepower for a period of three years. The company has been taking power
since May, 1922, and is using approximately 600 horsepower at present. This
plant is closed through the months of the winter season.

Kemptville

The village of Kemptville was added to the system during this year, and
to date has shown most satisfactory results. In addition to a good lighting load,
the village is selling a considerable amount of power. The village is now enjoying
a more efficient form of electric service than was ever experienced under old
conditions, the improvement in street lighting being most marked.

Lanark

This village was added to the system during the last month of 1921, and
has secured 107 consumers, and everything points to a successful year's opera-
tion. There is only a small demand for power during the day.

Perth

The power requirements in Perth have remained steady throughout the
year. With prevailing rates, the municipality continues to show large surpluses
in annual operation of the utility.

Smiths Falls

The load in this municipality has been increasing. Many new consumers
have been connected to the system. Considerable economy in the local operation
of this municipality has been effected during the year.

1923 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 147

THUNDER BAY SYSTEM

The development at Cameron Falls on the Nipigon river, placed in opera-
tion last year, has given entire satisfaction and has provided ample power for
the municipality of Port Arthur throughout the year. Advice and assistance
was rendered to the Local Commission of Port Arthur in connection with serving
certain large power customers. The load has been growing very rapidly in the
municipality of Port Arthur and there is every indication that additional capacity
will be required at the Nipigon development in a short time. Information
was submitted to various large power customers in the city of Fort William
concerning Hydro-Electric service from the Nipigon development, and a special
effort was made to secure new business for the Thunder Bay system in that
municipality. Negotiations were begun with the Kaministiquia Power Company
concerning the interchange of power for emergency purposes between the two
cities, and it is expected that an agreement will be completed for this purpose
early next year. An illustrated pamphlet entitled "The Nipigon Hydro-Electric
Power Development Constructed and Operated for the Municipalities of the
Thunder Bay District by the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario,"
was prepared by the Commission and distributed. This pamphlet gives a history
of the inauguration and growth of Hydro power in the Thunder Bay district
and of the negotiations with the municipalities of Port Arthur and Fort William
William in connection therewith. It also contains a complete description of
the Nipigon development and directs attention to the advantages of the Twin
Cities as a field for manufacturers and others who might contemplate residence
there.

OTTAWA SYSTEM

There is considerable increase in the use of power in the city of Ottawa.
In anticipating the growth of load, the city of Ottawa asked for a reservation
of two more blocks of power, of 500 horsepower each, to be delivered in the
autumn of 1922. Later it was realized that this would not meet its requirements,
and an additional block was ordered. The municipality is now using approx-
imately 12,000 horsepower out of the total of 20,000 horsepower reserved under
the agreement with the Ottawa and Hull Power Company. The increased use
of electrical energy in the municipality is chiefly due to requirements for domestic
purposes. At the rate at which the power demand is now being increased,
it is evident that shortly an additional source of supply will have to be provided.

Nepean Rural Power District

This is a rural district supplying the farmers of Nepean township with light
and power. It was first put into operation in the early part of the year, after
the construction of several miles of line. Since operation began, a number of
extensions have been made, until now approximately 100 customers are being
served from 24 miles of line. The power is delivered to this district by the
city of Ottawa, from its distribution system.

A number of additional extensions are anticipated, and efforts are being
made to extend the lines to serve some neighbouring hamlets and urban munici-
palities.

The Bloomfield Milling Company has installed 35 horsepower in motors,
replacing steam power.

An extension has been constructed to serve a private line built by six
farmers residing on the outskirts of the village.

Bowmanville

An extension of the local distributing system of two miles was erected to
serve the summer cottages at Bowmanville-on-the-Lake. In connection with
this, a three-phase, 2,200-volt submarine cable was laid across the harbour.

Brighton

Estimates were submitted for the construction of lines to serve summer
cottages at the Provincial Government park at PresquTle Point.

Campbellford

The pulp mill at Campbellford was reopened on September 11, after a period
of inactivity due to poor market conditions. The mill is operating at full capacity
and has orders ahead for some weeks.

Cobourg

Estimates were submitted for the installation of ornamental street lighting
in the business district and the removal of poles and overhead wires from this
section.
Water and Gas Departments

In connection with the installation of permanent paving on certain streets,
the Commission renewed water and gas services in the streets affected and also
increased the capacity of mains.

Havelock

A 20-horsepower power customer has been secured.

Lindsay

The distribution system in the south end of the town is being rebuilt
and the street lighting system improved. A number of arc lamps are being
replaced by a larger number of incandescent lamps. The greater proportion
of this work was completed this season, although the reconstruction will not be
entirely completed until next year.
Provincial Plowing Match

The Commission gave a demonstration of appliances and electrically
operated farm machinery at the provincial plowing match. This exhibit was
very popular with visitors.

The Marmora commission is now selling 18 horsepower on the off-peak
basis.

*See footnote on page 43.

1923 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 149

Newcastle

Service was supplied to a number of rural customers by means of branch
circuits from the 2,200-volt feeder connecting the distribution system in Orono
with the Newcastle substation.

Norwood

The number of lighting consumers has increased from 185 to 215. The
power load has increased from 20 horsepower to 75 horsepower, with the im-
mediate prospect of more power load.

Oshawa

The Corporation has ordered the installation of 130 additional 100 c.p.
street lights. It is proposed to operate these lights from pole type regulators.
Gas Plant

A new water-gas generating equipment was placed in operation early in
the year and is operating with marked economy. An extensive programme of
enlargements and additions to mains was carried out. A highly successful
publicity campaign has resulted in a large increase in gas consumption.

Peterboro

The utilities commission carried out a heavy reconstruction program to
provide for cooking and appliance loads in the east side of the city. A de-
benture issue of $60,000 was approved by the Hydro-Electric Power Commission.

Estimates were submitted on the cost of a new substation to be erected
on property purchased some time ago by the utilities commission.
Gas Plant

New mains were laid on a large number of streets and larger mains were
installed in other sections where the demand had outgrown the capacity of
the existing mains. Numerous alterations and betterments were completed
in the gas plant in order to cope with the steadily increasing output of gas.

Picton

The distribution system on Main Street was rebuilt, using western cedar
poles, and presents a greatly improved appearance.

Port Hope

A new pole line was constructed from the substation to the centre of distri-
bution. Two three-phase, primary circuits were erected on these poles and the
local circuits are being rearranged so that the large power loads will "be on a
separate circuit from the lighting.

Trenton

A portion of the new ornamental street lighting system was completed.
The entire system will be completed before January 1, 1923. The lights in-
stalled are 600 c.p. gas filled, operating at 20 amps, on a series system. The
standards are cast iron. The total installation consists of 48 lamps. A new
20-k.w. pole-type regulator has been installed to operate 36 units, the remainder
being supplied from the existing regulator at the substation.

Warkworth

Estimates were prepared and submitted to the police village of Warkworth
for the supply of 20 horsepower from a step-down station on the high-tension
line connecting Healey Falls and Trenton. The police village will vote on the
necessary by-laws early in December. The station, if constructed, will enable
the Commission to serve a large and prosperous rural district which cannot be
economically served from any existing station.

150 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

CENTRAL ONTARIO AND TRENT SYSTEM— RURAL

Rates based on the provisions of the Rural Hydro-Electric Distribution Act
were sent out to the following townships, following requests from the municipal
Councils: Loughborough, Portland, Kingston, Ernestown, South Fredericks-
burg, North Fredericksburg, Belmont, Smith, Seymour and Hungerford.

Public meetings were held in the following townships: Darlington, Hamil-
ton, Haldimand, Sidney, Hallowell, Loughborough, Portland, Kingston, Ernes-
town, Ameliasburg and Seymour.

At all these meetings committees were formed for canvassing and a large
number of contracts have since been signed; but in only one case, viz., Kingston
township, have sufficient contracts been obtained to warrant the construction
of the lines. In Kingston township a system of about three miles of primary
line serving the hamlet of Cataraqui and vicinity is now under construction.

Estimates have been made covering a 44, 000- volt line extension to Harrow-
smith with provision for a substation at that point and distribution lines at
6,600 volts to supply neighbouring municipalities, mines and rural consumers.
Rates have been submitted to all concerned and a canvass of the rural district
is proceeding.

NIPISSING SYSTEM

This system comprises the municipalities of Callander, North Bay and
Powassan, as well as the small hamlet of Nipissing. The demands for power
throughout this district have become such that additional development was
found necessary, in consequence of which arrangements were completed for the
installation of an additional development at Bingham Chutes. Plans have
been completed and the approval of the Commission has been obtained for
making the necessary expenditure and proceeding with the work so as to have
it completed about the middle of next year. The first unit of the new develop-
ment will increase the capacity of the Nipissing system by approximately 600
horsepower. Provision is being made for installing an additional new unit
of similar capacity when required. The improvements effected by the Com-
mission by providing increased storage on the watershed of the South river with
the addition of Bingham Chutes development will enable the Commission to
supply power to this district without using the North Bay steam plant, conse-
quently, it has been decided to dismantle this and dispose of the equipment.
Arrangements were completed for additional extensions to the North Bay
distributing system and for rebuilding a large portion to take care of the
increased demand, both for domestic and power customers. The station at
Callander was enlarged and extended and additional capacity was provided for
serving energy to an additional power customer.

NEW ONTARIO DISTRICT

Considerable assistance was rendered to various municipalities throughout
this district which have not yet executed an agreement with the Commission
for hydro-electric service, but which have availed themselves of the advice of
the Commission in the solution of their various local power problems. Matters
pertaining to new power developments and the providing of suitable distribution
systems were given consideration by the Commission and reports made to
the various municipalities. This work was performed for the municipalities
of Bruce Mines, Capreol, Massey and Thessalon.

SECTION VII

ELECTRIC RAILWAYS

This section of the Fifteenth Annual Report dealing with the activities
of the Railway department has, for convenience, been divided into four main
sub-divisions, as follows:

1. Discussion of certain aspects of procedure in connection with municipal

Hydro-electric railways.

2. Record of reports made to municipalities.

3. Report on work done during the year in connection with railways now

under operation.

4. Financial statement and statistics of railways operated by the Com-

mission.

GENERAL DISCUSSION

The Commission believes that a brief statement may profitably be pre-
sented respecting the electric railways work which has been carried out on behalf
of municipalities. The presentation of such a statement has been contemplated
for some time. Owing, however, to numerous and extensive changes in conditions
affecting the general electric railway situation — some of which conditions
are still in an unsettled state, — it is impracticable at this date to present
a statement as full as it may be possible to present on some other occasion.

First of all, it is desirable to correct a few misapprehensions. During the
past year or so, a number of charges have been made against the railway activities
and certain programmes of municipalities in connection with Hydro-electric
railways. Criticisms, made both from the public platform and through the
public press, have occasioned a large amount of misunderstanding and confusion
in the minds of citizens of the Province of Ontario respecting the general opera-
tions of the Commission with regard to municipal electric railways. These
criticisms, in a number of instances, have been most unfair, and the Commission
has been more or less placed on the defensive and frequently has not been in
a position adequately to correct the misunderstandings which have been created .

Prominent among the unjustifiable impressions which have been left in the
mind of the public are those which have been caused by three main misrepre-
sentations, as follows:

First: It has been charged that the Commission definitely recommended
a complete network of electric railway lines for construction throughout the
Province, — it being represented that 3,500 miles of railway work was planned
at a cost aggregating $200,000,000.

Second: It has been charged that the proposed publicly-owned hydro-
electric railways in many cases would parallel and compete with the publicly-
owned Canadian National Railways, thereby resulting in financial loss to all
concerned.

[52 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

Third: It has been charged that the Commission has forced its railway-
projects upon reluctant municipalities and has even sought to attain this object
by unwarranted propaganda.

Such charges cannot be justified as, indeed, will be fully evidenced from the
following brief discussion:

First: The statement made to the effect that the Commission had planned
a provincial-wide railway system aggregating in cost some $200,000,000, has
time and again been authoritatively denied by the Chairman of the Commission.
The statement, in some minds, may have originated through attention being
drawn to the fact that the Commission had received requests from various
municipalities to make preliminary investigations respecting portions of rail-
ways — aggregating some 3,500 miles — which some citizens in the municipalities
had thought might possibly and advantageously be constructed. In whatever
manner the error has arisen there has been no justification whatsoever for re-
peating the statement after its erroneous character had once been fully declared.

The Commission plans and builds electric railways under authority from
the Government of Ontario. A fuller setting forth of this authority is given later
in the introduction to the report presenting the reports made to municipalities.
It is only necessary here to state that until the municipalities through which
the proposed road is to pass formally request by resolution in Council that the
Commission investigate and report, no railway is reported upon or investigated
by the Commission.

After a report has been requested by, and made to, a municipality, it by no
means follows that the Commission will recommend the building of the proposed
road. Recommendation favouring a new project is only made when the facts
and conditions are found to be favourable for its success, and after a full knowledge
of the financial responsibility involved has been conveyed to the municipality
and after its ratepayers have voted in favour of the project.

As evidence of the conservative policy followed by the Commission it may be
cited that out of the 3,500 miles of suggested lines upon which reports have been
requested and surveys made, the Commission has only recommended projects
embracing a total of 326 miles, about 60 per cent of which mileage is already
in operation.

Second: With reference to the charge that the publicly-owned Hydro
lines will duplicate and compete with the publicly-owned federal lines, it is
necessary to refer to certain prominent changes in general railway conditions.

At the end of the Great War, it was found that a new railway situation
had arisen in the province of Ontario, due to the fact that the Government of
Canada was compelled to take over the Canadian Northern Railway, with the
probability of later finding it necessary to take over the Grand Trunk system.

In acquiring the Canadian Northern Railways, it was found that the pro-
posed electric railway from Toronto to Bowmanville — already partly constructed
— would parallel the proposed Toronto North-eastern Railway Again, the
Canadian Northern Railway system comprised the Toronto Suburban Railway,
and this would be paralleled by the proposed new Toronto to London line from
Toronto as far as Guelph. In a similar manner, the proposed Welland-Bridge-
burg line would serve much of the same territory as the N agara, St. Catharines
and Toronto Railway, a subsidiary of the Canadian Northern Railway.

These three lines, as just intimated, were part of the Canadian Northern
Railway system, which had been acquired by the Dominion Government.
Owing to the changed status of these railways, it became necessary to consider
the advisability of having three publicly-owned municipal electric lines paralleling

1923 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION [53

the three publicly-owned Dominion electric lines. The whole question was
opened for conference between the Dominion, Provincial and Municipal author-
ities, and as a solution of the problem, the Dominion Government offered to
sell the assets of the three electric roads mentioned to the Hydro-Electric Power
Commission of Ontario, acting on behalf of the municipalities, for a specified
amount. The offer was conditioned upon the Commission agreeing to make an
exclusive traffic inter-change with the Canadian National Railways.

The municipalities interested requested that the Toronto to Port Credit
section of the proposed line from Toronto to London be united to the proposed
electric railway from Port Credit to St. Catharines, thus giving a through line
from Toronto to St. Catharines, connecting at St. Catharines with the Niagara,
St. Catharines and Toronto railway serving Niagara Falls and other points.
For the time being, the portion from Port Credit to London of the proposed
Toronto to London line would be abandoned.

A new line was also recommended from Hamilton to Gait from which place
connection would be given to Guelph, Preston, Hespeler, Elmira, Waterloo and
Kitchener, either by purchase of or by securing running rights over light traffic
Grand Trunk branch lines.

The carrying out of these specific proposals involved only a 326-mile system,
and this constitutes the extent of the systems finally recommended by the
Commission out of its surveys aggregating 3,500 miles. Approximately 200
miles of this 326 miles were already constructed and most of the 200 miles
was in operation. It may here be stated that the proposed project was to be a
unified system of high-class electric railways giving high speed, frequent service
with modern equipment and operating with cheap power. The proposed lines
would serve a populous and prosperous territory adjacent to thriving industries.
The proposed system would comprise the following:

Niagara, St. Catharines and Toronto Railway — in operation.

Toronto Suburban Railway — in operation.

Toronto Eastern — partly constructed.

Hamilton, Guelph, Elmira — acquisition, running rights and some new

construction.
Toronto, St. Catharines Railway — new construction.

In giving an option on its proposed roads as above explained, the Dominion
Government evidently did not entertain any fear that the portion of the lines
which it was ready to dispose of would be operated in such a manner as to injure
the federally-owned roads or rob them of desirable business. As a matter of
fact, and looked at in a broad way, the success of the Canadian National Rail-
ways is bound up with the general intensive development and growth of the
territory they traverse. Upon this development and growth the proposed
electric railways would, in the portion of the country they serve, unquestionably
exercise a most beneficial influence.

It may further be explained that prominent trunk-line railway men, both
throughout the United States and the Dominion of Canada have, on various
occasions, publicly stated from the platform, through the press, and while under
judicial examination, that short-haul freight and passenger business, which are
a particular function of interurban electric railway operation, are handled on
trunk roads — with lines and equipment primarily designed for long-distance
traffic — not only at a heavy loss, but with the handicap of congesting their
through traffic facilities. The recognition of this fact on the part of the
administration of the Canadian Northern Railways was doubtless a strong

[54 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

influence in deciding the administration to be willing to dispose of the railways
which they offered to sell. Moreover, it may be added that the federal govern-
ment was taken into the complete confidence of the Commission in regard to
all its electric railway plans. The service of an interurban line supplements,
but does not replace, the service of a heavy trunk line railway.

The facts just presented are in direct opposition to the charge made that
the Hydro-Electric Power Commission was planning to enter into competition
with the Dominion Government railways.

Third: With regard to the charge that the Commission, by unwarranted
means, has forced its railway projects upon reluctant municipalities, it may be
stated that a charge such as this could only be made by those who willingly
disregard the facts.

In the first place, the original legislation of 1913 under which the Commission
was empowered to investigate, plan and build electric railways, resulted from
specific request made by the largest deputation of municipal representatives
that ever appeared before the provincial Government. In 1914, by request of
a similar deputation, the Act of 1913 was revised. Up to the end of 1914,
resolutions had been received from more than 200 municipalities asking for reports
on electric lines, and to date resolutions have been received from an additional
300 municipalities.

Assuredly, in the face of such facts, it must be acknowledged that the whole
railway policy of the Commission is the result of a clearly and definitely expressed
public opinion demanding that the local transportation system of the Province
of Ontario be improved, and that all such improvements and operation of
electric railways must be in the hands of a public Commission such as the Hydro.

With respect to the question of propaganda, it is only necessary to state
that inasmuch as many of the railway proposals under examination involved
technical problems and other considerations which were not readily under-
standable by many of the citizens interested, it became necessary for some of
the Commission's engineers to be present at public meetings and in other ways
to explain the plans and estimates, and also to be prepared to answer questions
and furnish such supplementary information as local circumstances demanded.
The officers of the Commission, whenever so requested, have always rendered
similar service in the general public interest upon all matters entrusted to the
administration of the Commission.

Representative charges, as commonly made, have now been dealt with.
Much more might be said if detailed refutation were attempted but it is believed
that sufficient has been said to demonstrate that no justifiable foundation can
be found for the charges which have been made.

The Hydro-Electric Power Commission has believed that the municipal
hydro-radial project could have been advanced with caution and yet with
great benefit to the province as a whole. From its commencement, however,
the whole project has been subjected to a very great deal of unfair misrepre-
sentation. It is unnecessary here to enter into a discussion of the aggressive
opposition involving a consideration of some of the more technical aspects of
the radial railway programme originally proposed by the Hydro-Electric Power
Commission. Questions such as the essential difference between trunk steam
railway operation and electric railway operation; capital costs of high-grade
electric railways such as the Commission proposed to construct; operating
costs; possible revenues from local, suburban and interurban passenger and
freight traffic; the earning power of electric railways already in operation, and
many other features have already been discussed in a Report entitled " Statement

1923 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION [55

respecting Findings and other Statements contained in Majority Report of the
Commission — known as the "Sutherland Commission" — appointed to inquire
into the subject of Hydro-Electric Railways" which was issued by Sir Adam
Beck on the 10th of February, 1922. A copy of this Statement will be found on
file in government libraries, also in all the public and leading institutional libraries
of the Province, thus affording the opportunity for further reference by those
interested in the discussion which has centred in the more technical aspects
of the proposed hydro-radial programme.

REPORTS MADE ON ELECTRIC RAILWAYS

It has already been stated that upon receiving authoritative request from
a municipality, the Commission may examine into and prepare a report upon any
specific railway project that may be urged by a municipality or municipalities
as of possible general benefit to the communities concerned.

Before presenting brief summaries of the reports that have been made,
it is desired to make clear how it is that the Hydro-Electric Power Commission
has been acting in the matter of electric railway building, because it has been
stated that the Commission has been prosecuting this work without proper
authority.

It has been recognized that for many years local transportation in Ontario
was far from satisfactory, and the problem of providing adequate transportation
facilities between adjacent large centres and, in conjunction therewith, of meeting
the transportation needs of smaller towns and of the more densely populated
rural areas, has induced public-spirited men in many communities to seek a
remedy. That there is a positive need for improved facilities for the interchange
of commodities is evidenced by the fact that in Ontario farm produce is frequently
allowed to decay on the farm, while the urban populations are paying high prices
for similar goods. The prosperity of both city and country depends upon the
unhampered interchange of commodities, and both farm and city dwellers should
have rapid and frequent access to each other's domain.

The citizens of Ontario had before them the demonstrated success of their
municipally-owned Hydro undertaking, in supplying the people of Ontario
with electrical power and light "at cost," and all communities recognized that
these benefits were actual and had resulted from the co-operative effort of all
concerned. It was logical, therefore, for municipalities to enquire whether it
would not be possible to build and operate electric railways on a plan correspond-
ing to the Hydro undertaking.

All over the continent examples were found where a single organization
was operating both power utilities and electric railroads with general benefit
to both, and it was concluded, therefore, that it should be feasible to place
under the administration of the successful Hydro Commission the operation
of such electric railways as might first be started in connection with a programme
for increased and improved electric railway transportation.

With this plan in mind, municipalities requested the provincial Govern-
ment to empower them to construct and operate electric railways after such
projects had been favourably reported upon by the Hydro-Electric Power
Commission of Ontario.

In 1913, the Hydro-Electric Railway Act was passed by the provincial
legislature. Almost immediately following the enactment of this legislation,
numerous resolutions began to come in to the Commission from municipalities
asking for reports upon various electric railway projects. In 1914, at the

156 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

request of the municipalities concerned, the Act was revised so as to provide
that the Commission only could construct and operate the railways.

The work was to be financed by the municipalities issuing their own deben-
tures. These were to be placed with the Hydro-Electric Power Commission,
which, in turn, would issue its bonds to the public, employing the municipal
debentures as collateral security. After the electric railway programme was
first started, various provincial governments expressed a willingness — under
the Hydro-Electric Railway Act — to guarantee the bonds of the municipalities.
As a consequence, the municipalities naturally felt justified in proceeding upon
this basis, believing that the Government was not unsympathetic towards the
efforts being made and was willing to strengthen the hands of the municipalities
by guaranteeing their bonds.

The policy of the present Government has not followed the line laid down
by former administrations under which the electric railway programme was
initiated. In 1922, a new Act — The Municipal Electric Railway Act — was passed,
repealing the Hydro-Electric Railway Act and cancelling all the radial railway
agreements which had been consummated. This new Act, however, exempted
the railways which were already being operated by the Commission, namely:
Essex District Railway and the Guelph Radial Railway, and certain other
proposed railways. The Toronto Suburban and the Toronto and York Railways
were covered by special Acts. The new Act required the municipalities interested
in the proposed Toronto -St. Catharines Railway to re-affirm their position in
regard to the completion of this line. To date 17 of the 20 interested munici-
palities have passed the required resolutions asking that the road be gone on
with. The Niagara, St. Catharines and Toronto Railway was also exempted
and may still at some future date be acquired under the old Act.

REPORTS MADE

Toronto -Markham Railway

This report, made in 1914, recommended, as a self-sustaining undertaking,
a hundred-mile railway from Toronto eastward through Markham and Stouffville
to Newmarket, Uxbridge, Port Perry and Whitby. It was made in response
to municipal resolutions and on the authority of the Government. The line
was estimated to cost $3,159,234. It was approved by the electors in 1914,
and sanctioned by legislation in 1915, but the agreements were all cancelled
by The Municipal Electric Railway Act of 1922.

Ontario West Shore Railway

In accordance with the requests of municipalities interested, and with
Government approval, a report was made on this road in 1914. It was partially
built by a private company the bonds of which were guaranteed by the munici-
palities through which the line ran, but the company failed before the work
was finished. The Commission found that there was insufficient traffic to war-
rant the completion of the line and so informed the municipalities. In 1917
further study was made, with the same result, and the Commission recom-
mended that no more action should be taken on the line. The material on hand
was then offered for sale.

1923 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION L>7

Aylmer District Railways

A report on several alternative lines in the St. Thomas-Aylmer-Tillsonburg
district was made to the municipalities at their request in 1914. As the estimates
showed that the lines could not be self-sustaining, the Commission recommended
against their construction and nothing further has been done in the matter.

Gravenhurst-Baysville Railway

Reports were made to the municipalities on a line through this district
in 1916 and 1917, both of which recommended against the construction of the
line due to lack of traffic. No further action has been taken.

Minden District Railway

The municipalities in this district requested a report on a line from Kin-
mount Junction to Minden. This was presented in 1917 and recommended
against the construction of the line as it was estimated that it would not be
self-sustaining. No further action is contemplated.

Toronto-London Railway

A report on this railway was requested by the municipalities along the
route, in 1914 and 1915. On the authority of the usual Order-in-Council the
report was made in the fall of 1915, recommending the construction and equip-
ping of a 137-mile line from Toronto through Port Credit, Milton, Guelph,
Kitchener, Stratford, and St. Marys, to London, at a total cost of $13,734,155.
Agreements and by-laws were prepared and were carried by the electors of
23 of the 31 interested municipalities. The agreements were ratified by Act
in 1916.

The 1916 Act specified that actual construction should not be undertaken
until the conclusion of the war, so that nothing further was done until 1919.
In the interim the Dominion Government had taken over the Toronto Suburban
which practically paralleled the new line authorized by the electors. The Do-
minion Cabinet, however, gave the Hydro an option on the Toronto Suburban
Railway on behalf of the municipalities, which action would avoid the necessity
of raising funds for the new line, which would to a great extent duplicate the
service given by the existing electric railway.

The acquisition of the existing Toronto Suburban Railway would not,
however, take care of the requirements of the district between Toronto and Port
Credit where an improvement in service was urgently required. The conditions
were fully explained to the Government and to the municipalities affected,
whereupon resolutions were passed by all the councils requesting the Govern-
ment to authorize the construction of their section of the Toronto-London
line as a part of the Port Credit-Hamilton-St. Catharines Railway, which,
in the meanwhile, had been definitely authorized, and for which bonds had been
issued. The Government then in power agreed to bring in legislation validating
such action.

The new 1922 Municipal Electric Railway Act did not cancel the agree-
ments of the six municipalities in the section of the Toronto-London line between
Toronto and Port Credit, but authorized the municipalities to proceed with
that section provided the councils or the electors reaffirmed the original agree-
ments. Resolutions have been passed by the councils of all six municipalities

]J8 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

which means that these original agreements and debentures, that have been
deposited with the Commission, are still legal and binding.

The original agreement voted on by the electors of the city of Toronto
in January, 1916, and reaffirmed by the Council in July, 1922, specified that the
route of the railway should extend westerly from the foot of Yonge Street to
Sunnyside, "using Harbour Board property and private right of way wherever
possible." It was therefore necessary to prepare a formal agreement to provide
for the transfer of various lands from the city of Toronto to the Commission.
Meetings were held with the various interested bodies and after an extended
discussion a special agreement was prepared and authorized by the city council
of Toronto.

Port Credit-St. Catharines Railway

Resolutions requesting a report on a railway through the Toronto-Hamilton-
Niagara district were received in 1915 and 1916. A report was presented to the
municipalities in 1916, recommending the construction of a railway from St.
Catharines through Hamilton to Port Credit to connect with the proposed
Toronto-London line at Port Credit. It was estimated that the cost of con-
structing and equipping this line, which was about 60 miles in length, would be
$11,360,363. By-laws and agreements were prepared, sanctioned by Order-in-
Council, and carried by the electors in 1916 and 1919 in fifteen of the seventeen
interested municipalities. As authorized by the Act, the fifteen municipalities
agreed by resolutions to assume the share of the two which had not carried their
by-laws. An order-in-council authorizing the construction of the line and
guaranteeing the Commission's bonds to the above amount was passed on
August 8, 1919. Approximately $500,000 had been spent on right-of-way,
etc., by the first of July, 1920, when all further commitments were held up
pending the report of an investigating Commission.

The new 1922 Act exempted this line from its provisions and permitted
that it be proceeded with under the old Act on condition that the municipalities
reaffirm their desire to go on with the work. To the present date nine of the
fifteen municipalities have passed the necessary resolutions and the electors in
the remaining six will vote at the coming municipal elections.

Essex District Railways

This railway system extends from Tecumseh through Windsor, Sandwich
and other towns to Amherstburg, and previous to its purchase by the Commission
was operated by the Detroit United Railway. Owing to the many separate
franchises great difficulties were encountered by the municipalities in arranging
with the company for extensions and betterments. As early as 1915 the Com-
mission's engineers visited Windsor at the request of the city council to assist
in various proposals then under consideration. Again in 1917, on requests
of the various councils, a valuation of the property was made but the company
was not prepared to sell until the expiration of its franchise. In 1918, by vote
of the ratepayers, the Commission was again requested to report on the proposed
purchase of the line. A report was made early the following year but as the
company was still unwilling to dispose of its holding nothing further was done
at the time.

Later in the year further resolutions were passed by the councils asking
the Commission to continue active negotiations with the company. This was
done and the company finally agreed to negotiate. After the matter was

1923 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION [59

thoroughly gone into it was found that a satisfactory agreement could not be
made and the municipalities were so informed. Previous to this time a by-law
permitting the company to increase fares had been defeated and the company
stated they were unable to grant a wage increase demanded by their employees.
The men went on strike and after some days without service, the Ontario Rail-
way Board operated the road and granted the increases, the road being returned
to the company about two weeks later.

Negotiations for the purchase of the road were re-opened shortly after
this time and a satisfactory option was finally secured. By-laws and agree-
ments were at once prepared, were sanctioned by the Government on October
16, 1919, and were submitted to the electors on December 6, 1919. Eight of
the nine municipalities interested carried their by-laws and immediately agreed
to assume the share of the township which had defeated the by-law. In 1920
the agreements were ratified by Act, and the Government, by order-in-council
dated January 27, 1920, authorized the taking over of the road and guaranteed
the Commission's bonds to the extent of $2,100,000.

The transfer was made on April 1, 1920, and the Commission has since
operated the road.

The amount passed upon by the electors, which was $2,100,000, included,
in addition to the purchase price, a small sum for badly needed immediate
betterments only, as it was thought inadvisable to delay the taking over of the
road until a complete study was made of the requirements of the system. Dur-
ing the winter of 1920 and 1921 a survey of the entire property was made to
determine what further improvements could be recommended arid a programme
calling for an expenditure of $900,000 was advised. This was approved by the
municipalities and additional bonds to that amount were guaranteed by the
Government on September 13, 1921. The betterments that were undertaken
during the current year will be found under subdivision (3) and statistics of
operation under subdivision (4).

Toronto Eastern Railway

Requisitions were received in 1919 from the municipalities along the un-
completed Toronto Eastern Railway from Toronto to Bowmanville, a distance
of about 44 miles, asking that the Commission make a report on the acquisition
and completion of this railway on behalf of the municipalities. The order-in-
council authorizing this report was issued and a report was made recommending
that the road be purchased and completed as it was found that it would be a
self-sustaining utility. It was to cost completely equipped $8,360,794. All
the municipalities interested passed their by-laws and the agreements were
validated by Act in 1920. Further proceedings were halted at this point
pending the report of an investigating commission and the 1922 Radial Act
cancelled all the agreements.

Hamilton, Guelph and Elmira Railway

After resolutions had been received from the municipalities in this district
and on the authority of order-in-council, a report was made recommending that
a new line be constructed from Hamilton to Gait and that purchase or running
rights be obtained over the Grand Trunk Railway Branch Lines connecting
Gait, Preston, Hespeler, Elmira, Kitchener and Waterloo, a total distance of
about 80 miles. The construction and equipment costs were estimated to be

^60 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

$6,170,072. Thirteen of the fourteen municipalities voting carried their by-laws
and three did not vote. Nothing further was done on this line pending the report
of an investigating commission. The agreements authorized by the electors
in the thirteen municipalities were cancelled by the 1922 Act.

Niagara Falls Street Railway

This report was made to the city of Niagara Falls in March, 1920, and
indicated that it would be impossible to purchase this property and operate it
on a self-sustaining basis, but it could be run at a profit if operated as a part
of the Niagara Central System. This line is owned by the Canadian National
Railways, forming a part of the Niagara, St. Catharines and Toronto Railway,
and is subject to the option held on that line by the Commission. No further
action has been taken since the report was presented.

Niagara, St. Catharines and Toronto Railway

Municipalities of the Niagara district forwarded resolutions from 1914
to 1916 asking for a report on a line from Welland to Niagara frontier. The
Government by order-in-council of August 31, 1916, authorized the preparation
of the report which was presented to the municipalities late in the same year.
It recommended the construction of a line from Welland through Port Colborne
to Bridgeburg. It was estimated that the revenue would meet all charges and
was to cost $2,208,716. Agreements were prepared and sanctioned by order-in-
council dated September 28, 1916, and voting took place on January 1, 1917.
All municipalities interested carried their by-laws. The agreements were
ratified by Act in 1919. During the period following the voting, however, the
Dominion Government, as stated above, became the owners of the N.S. & T. Ry.
which paralleled the proposed line for a great portion of its length. The Com-
mission therefore recommended that the new construction should be withheld
pending conference with the Dominion Government as to the best procedure
under the new conditions.

In 1920 resolutions were received from all municipalities on the N.S. & T. Ry.
asking that a report be made on the acquisition of that line in their behalf.
Resolutions were again forwarded by the municipal representatives in 1921.
Previous estimates were then revised to date and a report prepared which
recommended the taking over of this line as a paying proposition at a cost of
$4,663,830. This included, in addition to the purchase price, a sum for better-
ments and improvements. The report was approved by the municipalities
and voted on in January, 1922. Nine of the fourteen municipalities voting
carried their by-laws. The agreements so authorized have not been cancelled
by the 1922 Act.

Chatham, Wallaceburg and Lake Erie Railway

Resolutions were received in 1920 from the municipalities served by this
railway requesting a report as to whether it would be advisable that this railway
be acquired on their behalf. After authority had been granted by order-in-
council of April, 1921, information was collected and the report was prepared and
considered by the Commission, but no recommendation has yet been made to
the municipalities.

1923 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 161

Guelph Radial Railway

In response to a resolution of the Guelph city council passed in September,
1919, the Commission made an investigation of the operation of this railway,
and reports were submitted to the city on two propositions — one assuming the
incorporation of the existing railway as a part of the Hamilton, Guelph and
Elmira Railway, and a second on the basis of an independent railway. Both
proposals were favorably voted upon by the electors. When action on the
Hamilton, Guelph and Elmira Railway was held up in July, 1920, the city of
Guelph requested the Commission and the provincial Government to permit
the Commission to take over and operate the railway as a separate unit, as
covered by the second above described proposition. The Government, however,
ordered the project to be re-submitted to the electors before the transfer could
be made. A new agreement was prepared providing for a sum of $300,000,
and was accepted by the electors at the annual elections, January, 1921. It
was ratified by special Act in the same year, and the road was transferred to
the Commission's management on May 1, 1921.

Toronto Suburban Railway

A resolution was received in 1921 from the city of Toronto requesting a
report on this railway. A report was made recommending its purchase at a
cost of $2,778,000, which sum included an amount for betterments. By-laws
and agreements were approved as authorized by the Toronto Suburban Railway
Act, 1921, and were favorably voted on by the electors, January 1, 1922. The
Dominion Government has given an option on the line on the basis that it will
be a feeder to its trunk line railway. Details of the transfer are now being
discussed.

REPORT ON WORK DONE DURING THE YEAR

Essex District Railways
Equipment

A Jarge number of the two-man cars in the city service have been replaced
by seventeen one-man, safety cars built according to the Commission's own
plans and specifications. After considerable time and study had been given to
a consideration as to the best type of car to be used, it was finally decided to
provide double doors instead of the usual single-door design. The aisles were
also made wider, and heavier motors, more comfortable seats and better heating
were installed than had been used on similar cars in other cities. These cars
are, of course, equipped with the usual automatic safety devices by which power
is cut off, brakes applied and doors unlatched in the event of the operator re-
moving his hand from the controller handle, through illness, negligence or for
any other reason. The best possible fittings and equipment have been used
and the cars represent the latest development of this type of rolling stock on
the continent.

Service was given to certain districts of Windsor and Walkerville from
which the traffic at present does not warrant the construction of rail lines, by
four trolley buses operating on two routes. The buses also are the latest develop-
ment of their kind and have several new features heretofore not used. The
operation has been entirely successful up to the present time and has been re-
marked upon and inspected by electric railway operators from various sections
of Canada and the United States.

J62 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

Late in the year it was decided to purchase a motor express car and trailer
to take care of the rapidly increasing freight and express traffic in this territory.
Several offers are now receiving consideration and it is expected to have the new
cars in service early in the new year.

For special heavy passenger service in Windsor and Walkerville, four
double- truck safety cars have been ordered. These are now under construction
and have been designed to facilitate rapid loading and unloading. They are
to be equipped with all the latest automatic safety devices and may be operated
either by one or by two men as the traffic demands. They will be delivered
in 1923.

A new rotary substation at Petrimoux Corners on the Amherstburg line
was put into operation during the year. The equipment is housed in a temporary
galvanized iron structure as it was felt that the traffic developments in this
section during the next few years will require further adjustment of the power
supply. Previous to the opening of this station, all the power was supplied
from the Salt Block station on Sandwich street, Windsor, and a booster was
used for the Amherstburg line. Under these conditions about half of the energy
supplied by the booster was dissipated in resistance on the trolley wire between
Windsor and Amherstburg which resulted in most inefficient operation and low
speeds. This condition has been rectified by the new station.

Track, Roadway and Buildings

During the year further rehabilitation and improvements were made to
these facilities, as follows: —

The Ferry street loop, started last year, has been completed.

On Wyandotte street the old double track between Moy avenue and the
easterly limits of the city of Windsor has been reconstructed using 56-lb. relay
rails with creosoted ties on a 6-inch concrete base and plain concrete paving
surface. On the remainder of the unreconstructed track on this street all joints
have been lifted and the fish plates welded.

On London street repairs to the pavement were carried out.

Reconstruction on Ouellette avenue between Pine street and Sheppard
avenue included installation of 85-lb. relay rail and tie plates taken from the
Niagara development work. These were supported on creosoted ties and
crushed stone ballast with a macadam paving surface.

From Sheppard avenue to Tecumseh road joints were repaired in a similar
manner to those on Wyandotte street.

Steel combination light and trolley poles have been erected on Wyandotte
street east to the city limits and on Ouellette avenue from Erie street north to
Sandwich street. Some necessary changes were made in alignment on Welling-
ton avenue when this street was paved and the track was resurfaced.

In Ford city the "Y" at the corner of Strabane avenue and Ottawa street
was shifted and lowered so as to conform to the changes made last season in
the Ottawa street tracks, and the Strabane avenue-Ottawa street curve relaid
with 85-lb. rail on creosoted ties, the municipality having in both cases supplied
an 8-inch concrete paving base. Between these points where Strabane avenue
is being paved on either side of the track allowance, reconstruction has been
carried out with 56-lb. relay rail, about 50 per cent, of the ties being renewed
and the line resurfaced with rock ballast.

On London street, Sandwich, 500 feet of double track was replaced with
56-lb. rail and creosoted ties on crushed rock ballast and finished off with a
tarvia pavement.

1923 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 163

Private industrial spurs have been constructed on River street, and into
the properties of V. Benoit, Windsor, V. Mayrand, and the Martinette Realties
Company on the Amherstburg division, and an interchange with the Essex
Terminal railway was installed near the southerly limit of Ojibway. Increased
yard capacity at the car barns was effected by purchase of additional land and
extensions of trackage.

Considerable improvement has been effected throughout various portions
of the interurban lines. A 6-inch lift of ballast was given to one mile on the
Tecumseh division and one and one-half miles on the Amherstburg division,
and weeds were removed from the remainder throughout. Some 9,000 ties
have been replaced and some other necessary betterments made to the track.

Seven new. shelters were erected and the old ones repaired and repainted.
An additional steel span was erected over the Canard river and repairs made
to other bridge structures. The new sub-station at Petrimoux Corners has
been completed and alterations to the feeder system made to conform thereto.
Up-to-date telephones and telephone boxes have replaced obsolete equipment.

Generally, the whole of the Essex district with the exception of the tracks
on Sandwich street and on the Walker road route has been placed in first-class
operating condition.

Operation

The Commission is pleased to report that the rehabilitation of the property
to place it in fair operating condition is now completed and that the most pressing
of the improvements required for reasonable operation have also been placed
in service. The district served is growing so rapidly that more cars must be
secured immediately and additional double track with some extensions must
also be provided if the traffic offered is to be satisfactorily handled. A pro-
gramme of suggested improvements is now being prepared and will be submitted
to the municipalities for approval early in the new year.

The financial statements showing the balance sheet as of October 31, 1922,
and the operating figures for the current fiscal year, will be found in the next
subdivision of this section of the Commission's report.

The balance sheet shown, refers to the Sandwich, Windsor and Amherstburg
Railway as the books must be kept in the name of that Company until all the
outstanding bonds issued by the old Company are retired in September, 1927.
The Commission's bonds for an equal amount are meanwhile in the hands of a
Trust Company and are only delivered to the owners of the former Company
as the old bonds are retired by them.

The investment of the municipalities in the railway is now made up as
follows :

(1) Purchase price and allowance for imperative repairs at

date of acquisition $2,100,000

(2) Rehabilitation and improvements as authorized by
municipalities in 1921 .• 900,000

$3,000,000

Some $2,000,000 of the above capital is in the form of 4J/£ per cent, 40-year
bonds used to purchase the property. This amount is equivalent to approxi-
mately $1,500,000 on the basis of 6 per cent bonds so that the investment to
date in ready money is about $2,500,000.

164 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

It has been asserted that the Commission paid about $400,000 more than
the depreciated value of the property at the time purchased. Those making
such a statement have forgotten to take into consideration the fact that the
purchase bonds were based on 4^ per cent money whose face value at 6 per
cent was only some $1,500,000. The Commission's depreciated valuation was
approximately $1,650,000, i.e. slightly more than the purchase price. The
Commission estimates that the actual physical value of the property is at least
equal to or greater than the value of the outstanding bonds and that the net
return from operation in the future will be sufficient to meet all operating and
capital charges.

A statement that has been made that the line is over capitalized, does not
bear investigating. In 1919 the capitalization was approximately $2,000,000
and the gross earnings of the line in that year were $377,000, while in 1922 the
capitalization stood at approximately $3,000,000 and the gross revenue was
over $570,000 so that the ratio of capital investment, as compared with the
earning capacity, is considerably in favour of the 1922 condition.

The operating statement for the current year is technically correct, but
it cannot be used as a guide for future years. The revenue was seriously affected
by the more or less disorganization of service that occurred while the property
was being rehabilitated and improved and by the inability to maintain a regular
service with some of the older cars. The repairs to track and equipment have
been practically completed and the most run-down of the cars replaced by those
of a more modern and efficient type, thus it is reasonable to anticipate an in-
crease in revenue for the coming year.

The operating expenses were adversely affected by the same conditions
as the revenue only to a greater degree. It is impossible to record the difficulties
that faced the operating staff in maintaining even the semblance of regular
service with the dilapidated condition of track and equipment but it is hoped
these difficult conditions are past and that the service may continuously be
improved.

At this stage it may not be out of place to add a few words as to the stand
the Commission has taken regarding a reserve fund for depreciation. The
Accounting department, without a specific ruling from the Commission, com-
menced setting aside monthly amounts for depreciation from the date of pur-
chase. The Commission has recommended that depreciation charges should
be set aside for the utilities which it operates but when the returns from operation
after completion of the rehabilitation programme were available and indicated
that this work had seriously affected the net revenue, it was decided that it
would be equitable to defer the depreciation charges until the property was
placed in satisfactory working condition. It is now the intention to charge
depreciation each month dating from November 1, 1922.

Before leaving this subject it might be well to point out that the Hydro-
Electric Railway Act under which the Essex District Railways are operated
does not call for the Commission to set aside a reserve fund for depreciation.
Clause I (0 of the agreement between the municipalities and the Commission
also makes it clear that depreciation should only be provided out of any surplus
remaining after all other charges have been met. It is apparent that it is equit-
able to postpone the depreciation charges during the reconstruction period
that is estimated to have been completed on November 1, 1922.

The operating statement for the year, shown in the next subdivision of
this report, indicates a net deficit of $4,385. This deficit was largely caused
by the increase in interest charges to cover the new capital used for repairs and

1923 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 165

improvements from which full returns were not secured until all had been placed
in service and properly co-ordinated towards the end of the year. It should
be noted that the deficit of $4,385 is, after all, a relatively insignificant amount,
— a fact which will be clear when it is realized that an increase in revenue of
only one per cent or a decrease in expenses of the same amount would have
entirely wiped out this deficit.

It is believed that much useful information can be obtained from a study
of the annual statistics of operation over the past ten years and a graph of the
more important items is, therefore, presented on an accompanying page.

The available traffic in any district is naturally a function of the population
so it is encouraging to note that, during the decade covered by the graph, the
population served has increased from 30,000 to 70,000 — that is, it has more
than doubled. This means that the inherent possibilities of the railway are
very good indeed, especially when statistics of other corresponding districts
indicate that the number of times per year the average resident uses an electric
railway increases very rapidly as the population grows. This is but natural
as, once a city has reached a certain size, the new population must settle in the
outskirts at some distance from the business section and consequently must
use the street cars to a greater extent than older population settled closer down-
town. There is also a tendency for manufacturing plants to locate on the
outskirts to secure proper railway sidings, lower taxes, etc., all of which increases
the average riding per head of population.

The lack of adequate facilities to take care of the increased traffic is clearly
shown by the curve of revenue passengers which, as pointed out, should have
shown an appreciable improvement in riding habit when the population doubled.

The comparative returns for November, 1921, and 1922, show this to be
the case as the passengers increased almost 10 per cent, due entirely to the new
cars, track, other facilities and the. more reliable service rendered in November,
1922, over November, 1921. There is every reason to anticipate that the
coming year will show a considerable increase both in the riding habit per in-
habitant and in the total revenue passengers handled, as the facilities are how
much mproved.

The same remarks are equally applicable to the curve of operating revenue.
There should also be an improvement in the additional revenue secured from the
non-resident or casual rider who is now charged six cents for his fare on local
lines. This change was explained to representatives of the municipalities at a
meeting in Windsor towards the close of the year.

It will be noted from the graph that the annual car miles operated by the
old company remained practically constant during the last six years under its
control. The number of passengers carried increased about 75 per cent during
the same period. In other words the service (i.e. the car miles run per passenger)
was very much reduced. This fault, as far as possible, has been corrected
with the equipment that is available and still further improvement will be made
if the municipalities authorize the purchase of the additional cars now being
recommended by the Commission. The graph indicates that there was no
increase in car miles given by the railway from 1913 to 1919 and that since
then, under the Commission management, there has been an increase of 45
per cent. The lack of proper service in 1918 and 1919 resulted in there being no
gain in passengers carried during that period and is in remarkable contrast with
the period from 1919 to 1922 where an increase in service of 40 per cent resulted
in a corresponding increase in passengers carried.

It should be noted, first, that the traffic handled and revenue secured have
shown a gratifying increase in rate of growth as compared with the preceding
years and, second, that the operating expenses per car mile have been kept
within 10 per cent of the 1919 figure although employees' wages, cost of power
and other items of expense have increased at a greater rate. These results
could not have been secured if the improvement programme had not been
carried out.

The operating expenses per car mile for the period immediately preceding
the acquisition of the railway as compared with the corresponding figure for
recent periods with the rehabilitation programme finished, possibly gives the
best justification for the new expenditure incurred. It is well known that the
company curtailed every possible expense for some months prior to turning over
the railway and, therefore, the expense of 27 cents per car mile for such period,
with practically no maintenance being done on either track or cars, was very
much less than it should have been. Since that date wages of employees have
been increased nearly 40 per cent, the cost of power has increased about the
same percentage and practically every other charge also, including an amount
to make up for the deferred maintenance, and yet the corresponding figure for
the fiscal year 1922 is 29.5 cents per car mile. Many of the improvements
were not installed until late in the summer, hence it is reasonable to anticipate
a lower operating cost for the current year. The operating expenses per car
mile for the month of November, 1922, were 25.4 cents or considerably below
the corresponding figure for the last year under the old company. control, when
wages, cost of power, etc., were very much less and when no attempt was made
to maintain the property in working condition.

It has been asserted that the Commission did not have the right to take
over the existing railway on behalf of the municipalities until the 1920 Act was
passed, i.e. some two months after the purchase deal was put through. This
statement is incorrect as the amendment to The Hydro-Electric Railway Act
passed in 1916 provided —

"The agreement may include the purchase -

or running rights over any steam railway,

electric railway, etc., as part of the railway to be constructed by
the Commission."

Those who have made the above statements that the Commission was not
empowered to take over the railway, have evidently been misled by section three
of the 1920 Act passed about three months after the railway was acquired.
This section repealing the corresponding section of the 1916 amendment was
passed on the recommendation of legal counsel to make the clause more clear,
but counsel, at the same time, maintained that the language of the original
clause left no doubt respecting the right of the Commission to acquire a railway
to form a part or a whole of any proposed line. It should further be pointed
out that the Government itself recognized the Commission's authority to pur-
chase the railways by passing orders-in-council authorizing the purchase agree-
ment and the guaranteeing of the bonds, etc., and, still further, that the bonds
were marketed and duly approved by the counsel of purchasers.

Guelph District Railways

Equipment

Previous to the acquisition of this road by the Commission, service was
given with heavy, double-truck, two-man cars of a type suitable for heavy
service in large cities. When it is pointed out that these cars, throughout the

168 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

greater part of the day, carried an average of only four or five passengers, it
can readily be seen that the heavy expenditure on maintenance of both track
and equipment, power and crew wages, necessitated by their use was not war-
ranted by the traffic. They were, therefore, replaced by eight one-man, safety
cars similar to those supplied for use on the Essex District Railways mentioned
above. They have proved successful in operation and have helped, materially,
to reduce operating expenses.

Track, Roadway and Buildings

The programme of reconstruction initiated shortly after the Commission
assumed the management of the Guelph radial railway has been continued
throughout the year.

The single track line along Woolwich, Wyndham, Carden and Wilson
streets was torn up and has been replaced with 80-lb. rail, having welded joints
and resting on steel ties embedded in concrete; 80-lb. material was also placed
on the curve at Surrey and Neeve streets in conjunction with 140-lb. special
work.

Reconstruction with 85-lb. steel was carried out on Brock road and Moore
avenue, on Waterloo street from Edinburgh street to the end of the line and on
Elora road between Suffolk and Clark streets, this latter stretch being paved
with concrete. 85-lb. steel was also used in a new interchange track with the
C.P.R. on York road.

80-lb. relay rail was used in reconstructing the track in front of the G.T.R.
depot, on Elora road from Kitchener road to the end of the line, in the con-
struction of new passing sidings on Gordon street and on Ontario street and on
the single track gap on Surrey street between Gordon and Huskisson streets.
In connection with the two last mentioned installations 140-lb. special work
was employed.

A new diamond has been placed at the C.P.R. crossing on York road and
the track at various places throughout the system reballasted and paved.

In addition to the above a considerable amount of joint welding, bonding,
renewal of poles and wiring has been completed and the distribution system,
except at a few points which are under construction, put in first-class condition.

Operation

The rehabilitation of the Guelph properties which has been under way
since they were acquired by the Commission, is now well advanced. There
are still certain details requiring attention but these will likely be carried out
during the ensuing year.

It is well known that when the Commission took over this property the
roadbed and equipment were in such a condition that it was impossible to
operate efficiently. In other words, conditions that have faced the Commission
during the past year or two were practically the same as those which were met
with in Windsor and which have already been outlined in the report on the
operation of the Essex District railways.

Prior to the acquisition of the property by the Hydro-Electric Power
Commission, the line for some years had not been meeting its operating expenses,
and hence during the rehabilitation period the benefits from the suggested
improvements would naturally not be fully apparent. The work of rehabilita-
tion is now being completed and the present operating statistics show con-
clusively that the rebuilding of the line was well advised because it is now possible
to give a very much improved service and this condition is reflected in the earn-

1923 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 169

ings which also show improvement with a considerable reduction in operating
expenses notwithstanding the increased car mileage.

In connection with the financing of the undertaking the city of Guelph
issued the necessary debentures as collateral guarantee only and the line is
being purchased not from these debentures but, as is shown by the operating
statement, out of receipts from revenue. It has been said that the actual
agreement under which the road is now being operated was different from that
originally presented to the electors in 1919, and that these differences were not
explained. This is incorrect as the matter was thoroughly discussed at many
public meetings when the final agreement was under consideration. The
Guelph daily papers for December, 1920, set out the proposition in great detail.
They contained letters from the city solicitor as well as editorials commenting
upon the two agreements.

An attempt is being made to show that the Commission's estimates for
rehabilitation and improvements have been largely exceeded. The expenditure
to date is approximately $265,000 or some 35 per cent over the estimate sub-
mitted in November, 19.19. Those making such incorrect statements must
lack even a superficial knowledge of what was included in the estimates as
compared with the work actually carried out. The 1919 report explicitly
stated that the estimate of $197,000 included the cost of putting the railway
"in fair operating condition only." The rehabilitation and betterments carried
out have gone far beyond the 1919 estimate but only after thorough discussions
with the city. An additional $150,000 over that provided to take care of the
$197,000 estimate, was authorized by motion of the city council on June 19,
1922. The rehabilitation programme has been carried out under various
estimates that have been submitted by the Commission and approved by the
city council of Guelph.

There may possibly be some misunderstanding as to the present rates of
fare, because some reference has been made to a statement of the Chairman
of the Commission in December, 1919 — that the estimate of that date con-
templated a continuation of a straight 5-cent rate. Since that time the Com-
mission has recommended a considerable number of improvements not con-
templated in 1919, and there has also been a large increase in the cost of
labour and material. These changes in programme were duly ratified by the
city council and the improved financial statement made possible by these better-
ments justifies the Commission's recommendations. The average citizen of
Guelph can still secure the old 5-cent fare by purchasing tickets while the casual
rider or visitor is certainly not injured in being required to pay the 6-cent cash
fare recommended by the Commission and assented to by the city council.
The citizens in general have made up the deficiency in revenue that has occurred
during the past years in their tax bills and it would seem perfectly equitable
to ask the visiting rider to pay slightly more than the average citizen as such
a rider does not assume any responsibility beyond his straight car fare.

The number of passengers handled and the revenue from operation has
shown a favourable increase, and the operating expenses, even with an increase
in service, are showing a substantial reduction now that the improvement
programme is completed. It is quite true that depreciation and sinking fund
must sooner or later be provided for, but it is unreasonable to expect a street
railway system operating in a small city to earn sufficient during a rehabilitation
period to take care of such additional charges as well as the operating and capital
expenses. Even large city properties are frequently unable to make such pro-
visions. The Government evidently considers it perfectly equitable to defer

170 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

sinking fund for a period of ten years to permit any railway operated under the
Hydro-Electric Railway Act to become well established and developed. The
period for omission of sinking fund for the power undertaking is only five years
but the power system is, relatively, a less expensive undertaking and one that
does not require as long a period in which to become established. There are
few electric railways that make provision out of revenue for retiring the total
capital invested and, therefore, from all sides it would appear equitable to
defer depreciation during the rehabilitation period, and sinking fund for a
period of ten years.

It may be suggested that it would have been more advantageous for Guelph
to elect the members of the Hydro Power Commission as a Board of Directors
for the Guelph street railway, thus permitting Guelph to change the control
from time to time as it might desire. This would not give Guelph the benefits
of the Commission's engineering and operating staff, the value of which has
been clearly shown in the reduction in operating expenses from 37.4 cents per
car-mile to approximately 23 cents per car-mile during the past two years.
The Commission could hardly be expected to keep a railway engineering and
operating staff available from time to time for service for Guelph.

The present agreement under which the railway is operated by the Com-
mission on behalf of the city, was authorized by the electors after the matter
had been thoroughly discussed in one form or another for a period of a year.
The agreement is modelled on the standard form used for Hydro-Electric Rail-
ways but contains some special clauses to meet certain local conditions and the
requirements that were outlined by the Government. The Premier went on
record to the Mayor of the city of Guelph, prior to the date of voting, that the
Government would sanction and approve the agreement if it were accepted
by the electors. This was taken care of by the Guelph Railway Act of 1922.
A clause was inserted in the agreement that it would not be binding until such
special Act had been passed.

There appears to be an attempt to show that the city is receiving no financial
benefit from placing its railway for a period of fifty years in the hands of the
Commission, whose personnel may change from time to time. In the first place
the city is even to-day receiving a considerable financial benefit inasmuch as
the receipts are now sufficient to cover all operating expenses and interest on
the entire capital. Before the railway was acquired, receipts were not sufficient
to meet the purely operating expenses. In the second place the tracks, cars
and property have been placed in first-class condition and a much more frequent
and reliable service is being given. This may not be a direct financial benefit
to the city but must at least be a very welcome improvement and indirectly
is doubtless a financial benefit.

Lastly, the decision to transfer the railway to the management of the
Commission as trustee for the municipality of Guelph was only authorized
after the agreement had been carefully scrutinized. Such matters as the con-
tinuation of the present Hydro Commissioners in office, the 50-year contract
and other important features, were fully discussed prior to voting so that the
mandate of the people — of 1,152 votes for the agreement and 472 against — is
conclusive evidence that they were in favour of the proposed change in manage-
ment.

It will be noted from the operating statement given in the next subdivision
of this report that the railway has paid taxes as it did prior to the date of transfer
to the Commission management.

FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE

No. 49

SECTION VIII

GENERAL ACTIVITIES
ELECTRICAL INSPECTION

Inasmuch as all electrical installation work in the province of Ontario
has to be carried out in accordance with definite rules, with which -wiremen are
now well acquainted, inspection has become so well standardized that it is
unnecessary here to refer in detail to this aspect of the work of the Department
of Electrical Inspection.

The work of the Electrical Inspection department grows with the growth
of the Commission's operations. Every new municipality connected, even
every new customer, adds something to the department's responsibilities.
The increase in the amount of work handled by the department is well illustrated
by the following table:

Year

Number of
Permits Issued

Number of
Inspections

1916

100,787

1917

113,863

1918

110,445

1919

135,804

1920

87,399
84,352
91,932

160,990

1921

160,873

1922

182,522

Although the work of the Inspection department grows in proportion to
the steady increase in the number of electrical installations in the Province,
it is satisfactory to record that the extra work in 1922, as compared with 1921,
was handled by practically the same sized staff, there being only two new
inspectors. One new inspector was appointed at Sioux Lookout, north of Fort
William, this appointment being necessary on account of the special activity
in house building which took place during the year in this territory. The other
new inspector was appointed to meet the needs of a new district in the Timmins
region, in Northern Ontario. This inspector is in charge of the new district of
Cochrane, which comprises Cochrane, Iroquois Falls, Smooth Rock Falls and
Kapuskasing.

Defective Installations

The amount of money spent each year by consumers, usually without any
protest, in putting defective installations into good condition following recom-
mendations made by the department, indicates that the public as a whole
recognizes that these recommendations are made entirely for the public good.

1923 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION \TJ

The sum spent in 1922 throughout the Province on work of this kind was nearly
$340,000, of which Toronto's share was $110,000.

Electric Cooking

Another item worthy of notice is the large number of electric cooking ranges
used in various Hydro municipalities, for which, in very many instances, special
wiring, involving special inspection, has been required. In twenty of the larger
municipalities in the Province there are about 18,000 electric ranges in use, most
of which have been installed during the last few years.

Fires and Accidents

The number of accidents and fires occurring annually in Ontario due to
the use of electricity by the general public, is altogether insignificant. This
will be better appreciated when it is remembered that there are more than
300,000 consumers of electrical energy in the Province. Considering the very
rapid rate of increase in the number of consumers throughout the whole period
since the Electrical Inspection department was first created ten years ago, the
fact that so few accidents occur may be attributed in large measure to the
vigilance of the department and to the loyal co-operation therewith of practically
all wiring contractors and wiremen, who realize that their best interests are
served by having all installation work kept up to a reasonable standard of safety.

Inspection in Rural Districts

The extension of the Commission's lines into rural districts is also adding
considerably to the work of the Inspection department, for not only is the
number of inspections to be made in such districts becoming quite appreciable —
approximately 355 miles of rural lines were constructed, and about 1,500 rural
consumers were connected in 1922 — but the fact that these consumers are far
apart as compared with those in cities, makes the work relatively more arduous.
It may be mentioned here, also, that this same fact makes inspection in rural
districts considerably more expensive than in cities and towns where the popula-
tion is more dense.

It has been pointed out in earlier annual reports that the Inspection depart-
ment is at all times in close touch with the Commission's Testing and Approval
Laboratory; this is essential, for it is plain that no installation work could be
considered good or safe, however well the work might be carried out, if the
apparatus, devices, material, etc., made use of, were of poor design or quality.

Committee on Rules and Regulations

Apart from the actual work of inspection, the Inspection department has,
during the year, been closely associated with the revision of the Commission's
"Rules and Regulations for Inside Electrical Installations," which are in the
hands of a sub-committee of the Rules and Regulations Committee. This
latter body is composed of various members of the Commission's staff drawn from
the Inspection and Engineering departments, and of representatives of those
outside bodies specially interested in such work.

The outside bodies thus represented are:

The American Institute of Electrical Engineers. (Toronto Branch)
The Toronto Electrical Contractors' Association.
The Canadian Fire Underwriters' Association.
The Electrical Jobbers' Association.

m FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

The Electrical Supply Manufacturers.

The Electrical Manufacturers.

The Fire Marshal of Ontario.

The Ontario Safety League.

The Ontario Association of Architects.

The Ontario Association of Electrical Contractors and Dealers.

The Association of Municipal Electrical Utilities of Ontario.

The Chief Electrical Inspector is chairman of both the main and the sub-
committees.

The Commission's "Rules and Regulations," as closely as seems desirable
for Ontario conditions, follows the National Electrical Code of the National
Board of Fire Underwriters in the United States, and, since the latter is at present
under revision and will be published early next summer, it has been thought well
to delay putting into force any revised rules until advance copies of the proposed
changes in the National Electrical Code become available. These, it is expected,
will be ready some time in January, 1923. The National Code is well-known all
over this continent and the Commission's rules follow it as closely as possible.
In addition, the Commission's Code embodies many provisos regarding safety
to life with which the National Board of Fire Underwriters has not in the past
concerned itself.

Radio Equipment

The number of persons who have installed "radio" equipment within the
past year has been phenomenal, and the Inspection department has noted with
regret that this has given rise to quite a number of accidents. In the United
States the same conditions are to be found on a larger scale, and the National
Board of Fire Underwriters has already issued a set of tentative rules designed
both to minimize fire risk and accidents by warning unsuspecting persons of
possible dangers, and to constitute a standard for safe construction and
installation. It was felt that some such action was needed in Ontario, and at
the instigation of the Inspection department the matter of formulating a set of
rules governing "radio" installations is being given careful consideration.

Electrical Homes

"Electrical Homes," that is, houses specially wired and furnished with
convenience outlets in practically every room, have been on exhibition within
the past year or two in several Ontario municipalities. These houses are of
course equipped by various branches of the electrical industry, in co-operation
with the builders, for advertising purposes, but they are of advantage to the
Electrical Inspection department because the public is educated to know what
constitutes a first-class installation comprising the best materials and workman-
ship and the safest types of household electrical devices.

Moreover, the provision of an ample number of properly installed outlets
reduces the risk attached to the indiscriminate use of long extension cords and
amateur wiring.

One other matter of interest which may be mentioned is the excellent
influence which the equipping of these so-called "Electrical Homes" has had
on builders, who, on the whole, have been quick to realize the convenience
and consequent selling advantages of first-class electrical installation work and
the provision of numerous outlets to which various household electrical devices
may readily be connected.

923 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 179

LABORATORIES

In this department are centralized the functions of testing, research, and of
inspection of materials, and the facilities and staff are at the service of the
municipalities, in connection with all problems coming within the scope of these
functions.

A considerable amount of testing has been done for the municipalities but
it is believed that much greater use should be made of the Laboratories by the
municipalities, and an effort is being made by means of articles in the "Bulletin"
to describe the facilities for testing and research which are offered by the Com-
mission through the Laboratories.

Despite a decrease in certain portions of the laboratory work, the total
volume of testing has maintained the level of previous years. The growth of the
Commission's activities has given rise to an increase in the testing and research
work connected with problems of maintenance and operation, and this has offset
the decrease due to the completion of several large construction jobs. The
variety of work has increased during the year and the added knowledge and
experience gained by the staff in attacking new and unusual problems is of
increasing value in the routine work of the department.

The volume of testing for parties outside the Commission (exclusive of
approval testing) has not been great during the year, but it has been varied in
character and has included electrical, chemical and physical problems.

The reports of the various sections of the Laboratories, seven in number,
given below indicate by examples the activities of the department during the
year. Several tests of particular interest or importance, and certain items of
equipment are illustrated in the accompanying cuts.

High-Tension and Electrical Testing Laboratory

The general routine activities of the High-Tension and Electrical Testing
Laboratory have followed the lines indicated in previous reports, and special
attention has been given to several problems which have become of great
economic importance.

As one of these last, the construction and installation of a reliable system
of communication using radio frequency equipment with the main power trans-
mission line as a guide has been carried on with assured success. Considerable
experimental work has been necessary to adapt the equipment to local con-
ditions and to increase the efficiency of communication. This system promises
greater reliability during periods of trouble as well as freedom from inductive
disturbances at audio-frequencies which are always present when communication
lines run in close proximity and parallel to power lines.

Again, the general problem of inductive interference of power circuits with
communication lines which is increasing with the expansion of the distribution
systems and which has given rise to much litigation in various parts of the
United States, has been dealt with by the Laboratory in a sound engineering
manner.

Special attention is required to be given to generating apparatus, trans-
formers, etc., in order to eliminate all sources of such distortions in wave form as
cause interference in neighbouring communication circuits, but which are little
or no trouble to the power circuit itself. Elaborate and severe tests have been
planned and carried out in close co-operation with one well-known communication

180 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

company, thus obtaining definite knowledge as to what is or is not possible in
correcting troubles of this nature. In this connection it is worthy of note that
the voltage wave forms of the new Queenston generators are nearly ideal.

Investigations have been made on equipment for specific purposes, some
theoretical only, others supplemented by practical work when advisable. The
experience obtained by the staff in carrying out such investigations is reflected
in the facility with which problems of widely differing characteristics are attacked
and solved.

Special problems of more or less general interest have included the following:

Tests and study of heat insulations for electrically-heated water tanks
and the determination of comparative efficiencies of various materials ; electrical
characteristics of paints, varnishes, tapes, compounds, etc., and proposed
systems of high-voltage direct-current transformation. Supplementary methods
of heating have been given some attention with a view to ameliorating con-
ditions anticipated on account of fuel scarcity. Some advisory inspection and
testing of a special character has been undertaken on engineering materials and
assembled parts for electrical purposes. Systems of refrigeration, electric and
electrically driven, have also been investigated and more work remains to be
done along this line. Special high-voltage testing, for which the facilities of this
Laboratory are particularly well adapted, has been carried out.

The service which a laboratory such as this may render is increased in value
by using it as a clearing house for up-to-date scientific knowledge with special
reference to its application to engineering practice. The field of applied electrical
engineering is very wide and progress therein is made more certain by co-ordin-
ation of effort through such an agency as this laboratory.

Approval Laboratory

The improvement in business conditions in the electrical manufacturing
trade has been reflected in the increased number of applications for approval of
devices received during the year, nearly 200 new or improved devices or appliances
having been submitted. During the same period 139 approval reports were
completed and 153 cards issued summarizing these reports. In addition, a large
number of applications was received from manufacturers using the Underwriters'
Laboratories "re-examination" or "label" service, and 103 cards covering their
products were added to the approval record.

Among the new lines added during the year have been bread wrapping and
sealing machines, water-pumping outfits, portable drills and grinders, motor-
operated fans and blowers, interlocking switches for elevator doors and porcelain
insulating devices. Additions have been made by many manufacturers to their
lines of air and water heaters, ranges, snap switches and receptacles, etc.

Following up the issue by the Rules and Regulations Committee of a
tentative set of rules for radio installations, applications were received for the
approval of a number of so-called socket antennae devices and arresters. Inquiries
have also been received from several importers of English and European electrical
goods, and undoubtedly a number of lines such as theirs will be submitted for
approval during the coming year.

A revision of the specifications issued to date is now under way in order that
they may be brought up to date and into line with improvements accepted by the
manufacturers and other interests concerned. A specification for Christmas
Tree lighting sets allowing considerable leeway from the standard applying to
flexible cords has been adopted. This will result, it is believed, in reducing the

1923 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 181

fire hazard from Christmas trees on which candles are now used, by encouraging
the use of electric lights instead.

For the re-examination service a schedule of fees has been adopted and the
original agreement for this service has been superseded by a new form which
requires the applicant to pay a fixed sum per annum in advance for each line of
devices or appliances which receives the approval of the Commission. In line
with the new schedule of fees a scheme of re-examination annually or quarterly
has been worked out and put into operation during the year. Likewise the
label service has been put on a regular schedule and inspections are made at the
factory of each user of this service monthly, wherever possible. The number of
labels distributed this year has been practically double that distributed in the
previous fiscal year.

The work of following up advertisements in the technical and daily press
and electrical displays at exhibitions and fairs has been carried on vigorously
and has resulted in the practical elimination of advertisements and displays of
"unlisted" goods offered for sale in Ontario.

Meter and Standards Laboratory

While the year has been marked with a slight decrease of the independent
work of the Meter Laboratory, there has been a great volume of work done in
co-operation with other sections. In many tests made in the field, especially
upon new power houses and stations which were being placed in service, or
rearranged, it has been possible to co-ordinate the work of this Laboratory with
the High-Tension and Electrical Testing Laboratory, so that results could be
obtained with greatest efficiency and general satisfaction. Almost every test
is a special problem with its own individual characteristics, and for each a
peculiar equipment of instruments and measuring equipment gives the best
results. In assisting in the selection of this equipment, the Meter Laboratory
has been of great help, and by the maintaining of a continual check on the
accuracy of the apparatus, has eliminated many sources of controversy.

In a number of these field tests the oscillograph has proved of inestimable
value. Practically all large generators now installed are required to withstand
very severe short-circuit tests ; and these produce in the circuits transient effects
that may last but a very small fraction of a second — a period far too short to
give dependable readings on instruments of the indicating type. Here the
oscillograph is able to detect not only the maximum swing of current, but to
give a permanent record of the exact time taken for a steady condition to be
reached, and to furnish a complete history of conditions existing at the same
time in auxiliary circuits. A number of such tests have been made, and engin-
eering information gathered which could not have been obtained satisfactorily
in any other manner. In a transforming station, where it was feared that a
rearrangement of connections which was under way with a view to increasing
the system capacity might be productive of conditions which would cause trouble
on neighbouring communication circuits, the oscillograph was called into service
and the most desirable conditions of operation quickly and definitely determined.
When such outside tests as these are not in progress, the oscillograph is usually
kept set up in the Laboratory, and can be put into service at short notice. It
has been possible thus to supplement many tests which were in progress in the
Laboratories with oscillographic records, thereby adding immensely to the
value of the tests. Among these may be mentioned tests on rectifiers, telephone
circuits and experimental systems of transformer connections.

\_82 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

Throughout the earlier part of the year there continued a great activity
in the movement of watthour meters through the Meter shops, there being a
larger demand for second-hand apparatus, and also for new meters, many of
which received their Government inspection at the Laboratory. For some weeks
in the summer, watthour meter work was comparatively quiet, but with the
coming of the autumn and the shortage of coal, encouraging the use of small
heater units, there was a distinct revival of meter work and considerable ship-
ments were handled in the Meter shops. Several new types of meters have come
into use in the year and opportunity has been taken to make careful tests upon
these at the Laboratories, their performance being carefully watched afterwards
in service, under the variety of conditions of use existing upon the Commission's
systems. Besides watthour meters, a few new types of measuring instruments,
such as demand indicators and graphic meters have made their appearance, and
have been submitted to complete tests to prove their worthiness.

A number of meetings of the Watthour-Meter Sub-Committee of the
Canadian Engineering Standards Association have been attended, and a standard
specification for meters, agreeable to manufacturers, users and federal authorities
is nearing completion. The Laboratory has a representative also upon the
Instruments and Measurements Committee of the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers and by his work the Commission is kept in the closest touch with the
most up-to-date practice in metering, both in Canada and the United States.

The repairing of instruments and various testing devices for other depart-
ments and for outside parties has continued as heretofore in considerable volume,
full use being made of the Instrument shop and the Standards equipment.
Indicating and recording instruments, meggers, time switches, relays and
testing sets may be mentioned. The Instrument shop has been busily engaged
in co-operation with other departments of the Laboratories in the construction
of special equipment needed in individual tests. The investigation of stresses
in bus-bars, referred to elsewhere in this report, called for apparatus of a most
delicate and special nature, which required many modifications and additional
refinements as the tests proceeded. This equipment was all constructed in the
Instrument shop, the closest co-operation being required between the instrument
builders and the engineers conducting the test. Upon completion of this
investigation, much of the apparatus which was developed for the tests was
salvaged and has been added to the permanent equipment of the Laboratories.
A large part of the radio equipment being placed in use by the Commission for
purposes of communication has been built and assembled in this shop. Here,
also, have been constructed a number of pieces of permanent equipment for the
Structural Materials Laboratory, and for the production of test specimens used
in investigations of the characteristics of steels and other materials which have
become a matter of routine.

Full advantage has been taken of the occasional quiet periods in the work of
the Laboratory to improve the equipment generally, bringing it up to higher
degrees of accuracy and efficiency of operation. This applies particularly to the
standardization apparatus. While, as described in last year's report, this
equipment may be looked upon as being in permanent shape, new possibilities
are continually becoming evident and slight improvements ever suggesting
themselves. Some rearrangements of the wiring of the test tables in the Stand-
ards room have been made, and a number of valuable improvements, built for
the most part by the Instrument shop, added. An oil-immersion tank has been
constructed for the standard resistances, and arranged for quick and convenient
connection of any unit, as required in standardization work. The units terminate

At one end is a small circulating pump, which is driven by an outside motor, and
serves to keep the oil, when in use, at a uniform temperature* It is of interest,
here, to note that, whereas it was formerly supposed that the only oil suitable
for immersion of these standard resistances was a very expensive grade, obtain-
able only in the United States and at a very high price, the Chemical Laboratory
was able to derive a formula for an equally satisfactory oil, which was purchased
at a reasonable figure from a local refinery. k *|

Little new apparatus has been purchased for the Meter Laboratory, the
present very complete equipment of meters and measuring devices being found
capable of adaptation to practically all the work encountered in the routine of
the Laboratories and to the special tests upon which the engineers have been
engaged. At the same time it has been possible to place much of the metering
apparatus at the disposal of other departments of the Commission and outside
customers, for which service a moderate rental is charged.

Photometric Laboratory

The Photometric Laboratory is entrusted with all tests in which the measure-
ment of light is involved, and is frequently consulted regarding the planning of
the lighting for various classes of service.

The greater proportion of the work of this section is the testing of lamps
manufactured for the Commission under contract. Before contracts are placed

]84 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

the lamp situation is studied and the results of the previous year's experience
reviewed. New developments in lamp making are investigated when possible.
With data thus accumulated the specifications of efficiencies, life performance and
tolerances are decided upon for the next year's lamp supply. The efficiencies are
studied with special reference to the rates for current for lighting, prevailing
throughout the districts served by the Commission, the aim being to secure
lamps that will give economical and reliable service.

The lamp business for the coming year appeared to be of sufficient volume
to justify the placing of a resident inspector in the factory supplying the lamps,
and early in the fall this plan was carried out. . A member of the staff was trans-
ferred to the factory and has direct supervision of all lamps made for the Com-
mission. This inspector makes the regular inspection and tests to detect defects
and measures the lamps to determine their conformity with specifications.
Samples of lamps fulfilling requirements are forwarded to the Laboratory for
life test.

In addition to these duties the inspector, who receives copies of orders,
directs the shipping. It has been found that this plan saves much time and
enables shipments to be made direct to the purchasers when desirable, in addition
to eliminating the delay caused by rejected shipments when inspection is made
at the Laboratory.

This section has co-operated with the engineering department in designing
a system of signal lighting for Queenston generating station and is making tests
of lamps for this purpose.

Many important details of the lighting of Queenston and some other stations
have been designed by this section.

In addition to the Commission's own requirements systems have been
planned and recommendations made for lighting several churches, an office, a
collegiate institute and for the flood-lighting of an office building.

The measurement of the absorption of light of enclosing globes has been
reduced to a routine basis, and a scale of charges for such work has been decided
upon. By making some slight additions to the equipment of the 7-foot sphere
photometer such work can be done quickly and at very low cost.

The selection of suitable glass for the panels of a street lighting lantern
involved the measurement of the transmission of light by several samples of
glass submitted. By this means the characteristics of the different samples were
determined and the one best fulfilling the requirements was selected.

Tests have been made on train lighting globes, interior lighting reflectors,
street lighting globes, automobile headlights and street illumination.

During the year the specifications for the testing of automobile headlight
devices have been revised.

Engineering Materials Laboratory

The character of the work carried out by this Laboratory is the same as has
been described in past reports to which the reader is referred. Only a few of the
more interesting tests and investigations performed in the past year will there-
fore be described here.

Concrete Inserts

The special size and design of the bus insulators for the Queenston power
house raised the question of a suitable method of fastening these to the concrete
of the floors, walls and ceilings. Ordinarily a metal plug known as an "insert"

1923

HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION

and drilled to receive a bolt of proper size is embedded in the concrete at the time
the concrete is placed. These inserts take many forms, each manufacturer
claiming special advantages for the particular type made by him. A number
of these inserts were submitted to the Laboratory for comparative tests. As a
result of these experiments it was found that the effectiveness of an insert was
almost altogether due to the depth to which it was embedded in the concrete and
not to any projections or lugs with which it was embellished; that the only
projection required was a shoulder on the end inserted in the concrete to prevent
the insert pulling out. With this information an insert was designed having a
pull-out strength of 16,000 pounds and which could be made from a drop forging
at a cost very much less than that of the cast-iron insert ordinarily used.

Floor Hardeners

A great many compounds are available for the treatment of concrete floors
and each is claimed to have advantages over all others. In order to obtain
information concerning these, comparative tests were made on a number, both
of the integral and surface treatment type. Concrete panels made up in a
manner similar to the top course of a concrete floor were treated with the
different preparations and subjected to mechanical abrasion test.

The cut reproduced overleaf illustrates the apparatus used in making
these tests. As will be seen, carborundum cylinders fit into upright pipes and
rest on the concrete slabs under test and these in turn are fastened to the recip-
rocating table driven by the electric motor.

It was found in the case of the surface treatments that all were based on the
well-known action of the fluosilicate compounds on concrete and that their
effectiveness could be approximately predetermined from a knowledge of their
chemical analysis. A floor hardener of this type made up in the Chemical

186 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

Laboratory proved as efficient as the best of those tested. The integral hardeners
tested were made up mainly of calcium chloride and the results obtained with
them were those which could be expected from the use of this salt.

Line Materials

Tests were carried out on different forms of strain and dead-end clamps.
From the information gained from these tests a clamp of each type was finally
obtained which was lighter in weight, neater in appearance and of better holding
power than the clamps then in use.

A particularly interesting series of tests was made on large post-type insu-
lators. It was necessary to test these under a purely torsional load of 40,000
inch-pounds and a purely bending load of 40,000 inch-pounds. To do this the
machine shown in an adjacent illustration was constructed. As shown, it is set
up for the torsion test, but with a few simple changes it was possible to use
the same machine for the bending test.

Metallurgical Studies

The Laboratory has co-operated in the investigation to determine the cause
of the failure of No. 15 generator at the plant of the Ontario Power Company.
Physical, chemical and microscopic studies have been made of the materials
used in the construction of this machine and much valuable information was
secured.

Few additions of note were made to the equipment of this Laboratory during
the year. Provision has been made for the calibration of steel tapes, using as a
standard a master tape calibrated by the Department of the Interior, Canada.
The standards of one of the universal testing machines were extended to provide
for tests upon line hardware assembled in place on transmission cable. This
extension has proved very valuable.

After some experience with the commercial type of ball and socket specimen
holders used to prevent eccentric loading of the standard tension test specimen
for metals, an improved form of this device was designed and built in the Labor-
atory and embodied several special features. It could be used on any standard
testing machine, it could be operated much more quickly than the usual type, it
would not drop out of the grips and it was protected against the sudden shocks
occurring when the test specimen ruptured. It is illustrated in a cut reproduced
herewith.

Standard instructions have been prepared for the use of the inspectors
covering all of the principal materials usually inspected by this branch of the
Laboratories. These instructions are prepared in loose leaf form, and are to be
revised annually as necessary to keep them thoroughly up to date.

Certain standards of materials and workmanship are necessary in the
construction of any structure, and these are covered by the purchaser's specifica-
tions. Many different specifications exist, all having the same standard of
accomplishment in mind, but differing in some minor requirement or perhaps
only in wording. During the year the inspection engineers of the Laboratories
in co-operation with the designing engineers of the other departments have
developed a set of standard clauses covering materials and workmanship for
steel structures. Standard specifications for concrete are likewise in preparation.

188 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

Chemical Laboratory

The activities of the Chemical Laboratory do not differ materially from year
to year. Many different kinds of tests are carried out and valuable co-operation
is given to the other Laboratories in connection with the problems upon which
they are working. New materials of all kinds are referred to it by the Pur-
chasing department for examination and report, and while none of these tests
is of sufficient importance to warrant special mention, in the aggregate they
form a considerable proportion of the total work done and are of great value to
the Commission.

Problems peculiar to the Chemical Laboratory are protective compounds
and lubricating materials. The former includes paints, metallic coatings such
as galvanizing and wood preservatives. Investigation work along each of these
lines is in progress almost continuously.

Photographic Branch

This branch of the Laboratories has been very busy during the year, owing
principally to the Queenston-Chippawa development. During the period of
greatest activity weekly visits were made to Niagara by the photographer and at
present progress pictures are being taken every month. A considerable number
of airplane views of the development was taken during the summer. An "air-
plane" map was also constructed showing the power canal and the Niagara
river from Chippawa to Queenston ; the pictures for the map were taken from a
height of 2,500 feet. For this work a special camera was built in the Laboratory
workshop. Official pictures were also taken during the year of the 110,000-
volt line from Queenston, the rural underground installation in Saltfleet town-
ship, the new Hamilton outdoor station, and Ranney Falls generating station.

The Blueprint section received 2,250 orders during the year.

SECTION IX

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT RESPECTING THE ACCOUNTS

The Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario believes that a satis-
factory understanding of the manner in which the various operations of the
Commission are financed will contribute greatly to the interest of those engaged
either directly or indirectly with the work of the Commission.

In this section of its Annual Report the Commission presents detailed
financial statements which may easily be understood although, upon casual
inspection, they might appear somewhat complex.

For the purpose of financial statement, the various systems are treated
as quite separate units for each of which similar statements and details are
given. Many of the pages which follow, therefore, simply repeat for each system
the class of data which is presented for the first system dealt with, namely, the
Niagara system. In order, therefore, to possess a ready grasp of all the figures
presented in this and other similar reports of the Commission, all that is neces-
sary is to have a true understanding of the financial procedure followed in
connection with one system and with one municipality.

The accounts of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario are
subjected to a strict audit by auditors specially appointed by the Provincial
Government. The accounts of the individual municipalities are prepared
according to approved and standard practice and are also duly audited. In
fact, in preparing the various financial reports and statistical tables relating
to all Hydro enterprises, the greatest care is exercised and all statements are
presented in such form that they may be comprehensive and at the same time
easily understood.

It is proposed here to explain briefly the general plan of the financial
operations of the Commission and in the course of the explanation to illustrate
by reference to specific data.

The balance sheet which immediately follows, exhibits the assets and
liabilities of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario in respect of
all of its undertakings, except those of the "Central Ontario and Trent" and
"Nipissing" systems — which owing to special conditions are separately sub-
mitted — and of the Ontario Power Company, Limited, the financial report of
which is separately presented at the end of this section of the Report.

It will be understood that this statement of assets and liabilities and the
financial tables which follow relate to the properties constructed and operated
by the Commission as trustees for the municipalities; and the balance sheets,
operating reports and statistical data appearing in Section X, under the heading
of "Municipal Accounts," refer to the operation of the municipalities' properties
within the boundaries of those municipalities which have contracted with the
Commission for their supply of electrical energy.

190 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE * No. 49

The whole Hydro-Electric undertaking of the municipalities, so far as
finances are concerned, is operated in what may be termed two distinct divisions:
first — the division which covers the generation, transformation, and transmission
of electrical energy, in wholesale quantities to municipalities. The equipment
essential to this work is constructed, or otherwise provided, and also operated
on behalf of the associated municipalities by the Hydro-Electric Power
Commission of Ontario.

The second division comprises the various operations involved in the local
distribution by various municipal utility commissions, within their respective
municipalities, of the electrical energy which they purchase from the Hydro-
Electric Power Commission. The work performed by the various municipal
commissions in their local distribution and sale of electrical energy is under the
supervision of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission.

To convey a better understanding respecting the operations of Hydro
undertakings, the financial results of the two divisions just mentioned have
been combined and are shown in balance sheet form immediately following
statement "A" in Section X of this Report. These balance sheets are headed
"Statement combining the Hydro-Electric Power Commission's plant and
reserves with the assets, liabilities and reserves of the 'Hydro' Municipal Utilities
as at 31st December, 1922," and information respecting the several columns of
figures is given in a statement immediately preceding these balance sheets.

The ultimate source of all revenue — whether for the larger operations of
the Hydro-Electric Power Commission or for the smaller local operations of
the municipalities — is, of course, the consumer. The revenue collected from
the service supplied by the municipalities is divided so as to pay for the power
purchased from the Commission and also for the expense incurred by the local
utility in supplying its customers.

The portion of the total revenue remitted to the Hydro-Electric Power
Commission — and this remittance appears in the financial statements as the
total "Cost of Power" — must be sufficient to pay the municipality's proportion
of the expenditures made by the Commission on behalf of the municipality,
in connection with the particular system to which the municipality belongs,
in order to provide, transmit and sell to the municipality the agreed upon
amount of power. This remittance to the Commission includes a sinking fund
and a depreciation or renewals reserve fund ; the former making full provision
for the liquidation of the capital investment and the latter creating a fund
considered to be fully adequate to renew or rebuild any section of the various
properties when necessary. The Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario
obtains its revenue from power service — that is from the sale of electricity
generated for and transmitted to the municipalities in bulk — and with this
revenue operates and maintains its system and also creates the reserves just
mentioned. Power service is given to each municipality "at cost."

All municipalities have current expenses to meet similar to the expenses of
the Commission and have adopted the same sound financial procedure with
respect to the operation of their local utilities. In other words, concurrently
with the creation of funds to liquidate their debt to the Commission and provide
a reserve to rebuild generating, transforming, and transmission systems, the
municipalities are taking similar action with respect to their local Hydro systems.

From the foregoing explanation it will be seen that the revenue obtained
from "Hydro" light and power customers is sufficient to meet all operating
and maintenance costs and capital charges in connection with (a) individual
municipal investments and (b) collective municipal investments made through

1923 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 191

the agency of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission, and in addition there is
being provided a fund for the purpose of renewing or rebuilding the properties —
if necessary — of the whole Hydro installation from the generating stations to
and including the municipal systems.

It will be profitable to consider, very briefly, the basic principle upon which
the whole Hydro project is founded. This is set out in the contracts under
which the municipalities enter into the partnership of which the Commission acts
as trustee. The rates at which power is supplied to the various municipalities
vary with the amount of power used and the distance from the source of supply.
The entire capital cost of the various power developments and transmission
systems are pro-rated annually to the connected municipalities, according
to the relative use made of the lines and equipment. Each municipality is
required to assume responsibility for just that portion of capital employed in
delivering electrical energy to it, together with such expenses as are incident to
that particular portion of the investment. Municipalities are not charged with
expenses connected with equipment or plant from which they derive no benefit
or are in no way interested. The entire annual expense of operation, mainten-
ance, administration, interest and sinking fund and full depreciation are paid
out of revenue collected from the municipalities, through the medium of thirteen
power bills rendered by the Commission each year. Power bills are rendered
at an interim estimated rate each month during the year and a thirteenth bill —
or credit memorandum as the case may be — is rendered at the end of the year,
when the Commission's books are closed and the actual cost determined.*
There is no burden on the taxpayers or on non-users and no avenue through
which losses, should they occur, could be absorbed, except by a direct charge to
the contracting municipalities for power supplied. It should be noted that the
sinking fund on the debentures is treated as an operating expense and that,
therefore, the municipalities are not only paying the interest on the investment,
but are also paying off the principal by means of a sinking fund and, in
addition, are providing for the perpetuity of the system through an adequate
depreciation fund.

The results obtained by the annual adjustments of the Commission's capital
investment, operating expenses and fixed charges as they affect individual
municipalities are clearly shown in the tables for the respective systems.

These financial statements are typical of others appearing in this section of
the Commission's Annual Report, and if their significance is fully appreciated
there can be no misconception of the relationship of the municipalities to the
Commission's operations.

To further illustrate the foregoing explanatory comments a typical Operat-
ing Report is now submitted, viz., that of the Hydro-Electric Utility of the
city of Sarnia:

•The financial year for the Commission accounts ends on October 31. The financial year for the Municipal
accounts, however, ends on December 31, and the Municipal accounts are made up to this date, and so recorded in
Section X.

The city of Sarnia situated at the extreme end of the Niagara system,
185 miles distant from source of power, Niagara Falls, Ontario, was connected to
the system, December, 1916. This utility has fulfilled every monetary obliga-
tion imposed upon it by the Power Commission Act. With the close of the
sixth year of operation its financial condition as set forth in the municipalities
balance sheet (see Statement A, in Section X) stands as follows.

Total assets, $542,157.76; total liabilities, $283,935.37; reserves and surplus,

270 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

CENTRAL ONTARIO AND TRENT SYSTEM
AND NIPISSING SYSTEM

The following balance sheet and operating account relates to the systems
known as "Central Ontario and Trent" and "Nipissing" which together serve
electrical energy to fifty-five municipalities and companies. The Central
Ontario and Trent system extends from the municipality of Whitby on the
west to and including the city of Kingston on the east and as far north as Lindsay.
The Nipissing system supplies the town of North Bay and vicinity. These
systems were purchased by the provincial Government, as at the 1st of March,
1916, from the Electric Power Company, Limited, which owned or controlled
the capital stock of twenty- two subsidiary companies, the purchase price being
the sum of $8,350,000, payable in ten years, secured by a government bond
issue bearing interest at four per cent per annum.

Since the acquisition of these properties, and their transfer to the Com-
mission to operate in trust for the Government, it has been found necessary to
-enlarge, extend and improve the systems to meet the increasing demands for
'electric service.

The Central Ontario system and the Trent system both receive their
•electrical energy from the same sources of power supply through the same main
transmission network and from the standpoint of power development and
•electrical operation are regarded as a unit and now known as the Central Ontario
and Trent system. It may be explained that after the Central Ontario system
was purchased by the Provincial Government, a number of municipalities in
central Ontario, from time to time, applied to the Hydro-Electric Power Com-
mission for power to be supplied under the provisions of the Power Commission
Act. The municipalities in central Ontario which thus enter into direct re-
lationship with the Hydro-Electric Power Commission are for purposes of
financial administration grouped in what is termed the "Trent" system.

The operation of these two systems — the "Central Ontario and Trent"
and the "Nipissing" — entails the generation, transformation and transmission
of electrical energy to thirty-five municipalities and twenty companies, and
in addition thereto the operation of three gas plants — at Peterborough, Oshawa
and Cobourg — the Cobourg Waterworks, the Peterborough street railway,
the Campbellford pulp mill and certain pulpwood limits connected therewith.

With the exception of fourteen municipalities, namely, Bloomfield, Have-
lock, Kingston, Lakefield, Madoc, Marmora, Norwood, Omemee, Oshawa
Rural District, Peterborough, Picton, Stirling, Wellington and Whitby, twelve
of which were connected to the system subsequent to the date of purchase,
and constitute the Trent system, the whole property, local and otherwise, is
operated and maintained by the Commission. Although the ownership of the
whole plant is vested in the province (except the fourteen local systems of the
municipalities mentioned) precisely the same methods, with respect to the con-
trol of rates, operation, maintenance, and provision for renewal of plant and
equipment, are applied, as appertain to other systems controlled and operated
by the Commission.

An annual adjustment of the system's capital cost and expenses is made
and those municipalities operating their own utilities and which have contracts
for power to be supplied at cost, receive an additional charge or credit — as the
case may be — on account of power cost as ascertained by this adjustment, just
as is done in the case of the municipalities comprising the Niagara system and
other systems.

284 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

ONTARIO POWER COMPANY

The Ontario Power Company of Niagara Falls, including the Ontario
Transmission Company, Limited, were purchased by the Commission under
the authority of the Legislature (7 Geo. V., cap. 20), and with the express
approval of the Hydro-Electric municipalities of the Niagara zone. The plant
has been operated by the Commission since August 1st, 1917. The statements
submitted herewith show the Balance Sheet as of October 31st, 1922, the
Operating Report for the year ending on that date, and a digest of the
Appropriation Account showing the distribution of the surplus earnings, and
the net surplus transferred to the Balance Sheet.

The Operating Statement for the year ending October 31, 1922, shows
a surplus of $549,892.27, after providing for all costs of operation, exchange,
discount on bonds, bond and other interest charges, and an adequate yearly
provision for renewal of the plant. This sum is augmented by the credit
balance brought forward from 1921, the surplus arising from bond redemption
during the year amounting to $4,044.41. Thus there is a surplus balance of
$613,133.71, which has been appropriated to meet bond interest, exchange
and the sinking fund requirements in respect to the Bonds issued by the Com-
mission, leaving a net surplus of $89,792.93.

The first contract for energy, signed by the Hydro-Electric Power Com-
mission of Ontario, was made in 1908 with the Ontario Power Company, then
a private corporation operating under a Federal charter. The agreement was
for the purchase of an ultimate maximum of 100,000 horsepower, at a rate
ranging from $9.40 to $9.00 per horsepower per annum.

Within five years the full amount of energy contracted for was being
taken, and more was urgently required to serve the needs of the associated
municipalities of the Niagara System.

The Ontario Power Company was the only one of the three generating
corporations which was not using its full allotment of water. There was talk
of expropriating one of the plants as a war measure, but while that proposal
was still being discussed, the Hydro-Electric Power Commission obtained by
negotiation an option on the Ontario Power Company's property as a going
concern. Authority to acquire the shares of a private electrical corporation
was granted to the Commission by the Legislature, and the municipalities of
the Niagara System gave their approval to the proposed purchase.

The agreement provided for the purchase by the Hydro-Electric Power
Commission of the stock of the Ontario Power Company and its auxiliary, the
Ontario Transmission Company, Limited, for the sum of $8,000,000 in forty-year,
four per cent. Bonds of the Commission, guaranteed by the Province, and the
assumption of the bonded indebtedness of the Corporation.

1923 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 285

The purchase was made on August 1st, 1917. As soon as the property-
came into the hands of the Commission plans were made to increase its normal
generating capacity by putting in a new conduit, and adding two generating
units. The cost of this conduit, a wood-stave pipe line, and of the equipment
which it was designed to serve, was $3,514,676.62.

The Operating Report shows a revenue for the year of $3,119,478.01, a little
more than one-half of which was collected from the municipalities of the
Niagara System for power supplied to them; that is to say, the private con-
tracts of the plant provide a sufficient income to meet about 44 per cent, of the
carrying charges — if the prices for power sold were equalized to municipal
and private customers.

After providing for interest charges of $1,050,083.30, operating expenses
of $194,856.24, taxes, water rentals and other items of current outlay, the
revenue permitted the setting aside of $116,491.96 for the renewal of the plant,
the provision of $191,239.20 for maintenance charges and of $682,928.97 for
the purchase of additional power required. There was a surplus balance of
.$549,892.27 carried into Appropriation Account, as the statement shows.

292 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

SECTION X

MUNICIPAL ACCOUNTS

The Municipal Accounts section of this report presents the results of the
operation of the various Hydro systems from a municipal standpoint collect-
ively and individually. Statements prepared from figures extracted from the
books of all Hydro municipalities are submitted herein to show how each has
operated during the past two years; also the financial status at the present
time; as well as much useful statistical information, all so arranged as to permit
of comparisons being made between various systems and between different
municipalities in each system.

The books of account in all municipalities which have contracted with the
Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario for a supply of power are kept
in accordance with the provisions set forth in the publication "Uniform Account-
ing for Municipal Electric Utilities," issued by the Commission. The Com-
mission, by a system of periodical inspections and reports, keeps in close touch
with the operating conditions of each local system.

During the year 1922, the Uniform Accounting system was installed in the
following municipalities as each became ready for the service: Alvinston, Ford
City, Port Perry, Riverside, St. Clair Beach, Tecumseh, Thedford and Uxbridge.
Periodical inspections were made of the books of all Hydro municipalities,
and local officials have been assisted in the improvement of their office routine
with a view to standardizing, as far as possible, the methods employed. In the
majority of the smaller municipalities, much of the bookkeeping is performed
by representatives of the Municipal Audit department, in order to insure the
employment of proper classifications of revenue and expenditures, to save
time in preparation of reports, to insure compliance with all the requirements
of the Standard Accounting system, and to make certain that the accounts
represent as truly as possible the actual operating results for the year.

The first financial statement in this preface presents consolidated operating
reports for each year since Hydro was inaugurated and combines the results of
all the systems. Study of this report will show that the revenue has been in-
creasing to a most satisfactory degree. The annual surpluses, after providing
all possible cost of operation, including an adequate depreciation charge, have
increased until, in 1922, the combined annual surpluses amounted to $696,524.19.
The second statement presents consolidated balance-sheets for each year
since 1912, and also shows clearly the march of progress. It is worth noting
that the total plant value has increased from $10,081,469.16 in 1913 to
$42,706,840.87 in 1922; and the total assets from $11,907,826.86 to $55,126,-
834.09. The liabilities have not increased in the same proportion as the assets,
rising from $10,468,351.79 to $35,196,388.35. The reason for this is that much
of the cost of the increasing plant value has been financed out of Surplus and
Reserve accounts without increasing the liabilities of the various systems. By
this procedure the funds of the systems are used to best advantage. Examina-
tion of the results will also show that there is a steady decline in the percentage
of net debt to total assets; being from 88.0 per cent in 1913 to 65.6 per cent in
1922. The equity in the Hydro-Electric Power Commission System auto-

1923 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 293

matically acquired through the inclusion of sinking fund as part of the cost of
power is not taken into account in arriving at these percentages.

Combined Balance Sheets: Following "Statement A" are presented
balance-sheets combining the financial results of the two distinct divisions into
which, so far as finances are concerned, the whole Hydro-Electric undertakings
of the municipalities is divided. This matter is referred to at greater length
on page 190 in the Introduction to Section IX, and information respecting the
several columns of figures is given in statements immediately preceding these
balance-sheets.

The seven statements, "A" to "G," following these two consolidated reports,
show the results* of operations and the financial status of each municipal system,
and also give information respecting revenue, number of consumers and con-
sumption; cost of power to municipalities; power and lighting rates charged to
consumers, etc. Some of the figures are comparative for the past two years
and others for all the years of operation. In the statements "A," "B," and "C,"
the figures are arranged in groups under each system and alphabetically for the
municipalities in each system; in the statements, "D" to "G," all "Hydro"
municipalities are arranged alphabetically.

"Statement A" shows comparative balance-sheets for each municipality
for the past two years, with the plant value sub-divided into the general natural
sub-divisions specified in the standard accounting system, and there are also
shown the other items which make up the total assets. It is to be noted that
among the assets there are items entitled "Equity in Hydro System."" These
items represent the amount of accumulated Sinking Fund paid by the various
municipalities through the medium of "Power Cost" toward the ultimate retire-
ment of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission's construction debt. The total
accumulation to the end of 1922 is shown on the Consolidated Balance-sheet
to be $1,543,434.12.

In each case the balance-sheet is complete and final, including either in
"Accounts receivable" or "Accounts payable" the adjustments with this Com-
mission of the differences between the estimated and the actual costs of power.

The actual liabilities of each local system are set out under their general
sub-divisions, — debenture balance, accounts payable, bank overdraft, and other
liabilities, this last account including local debentures issued by municipalities
to finance ornamental street light systems as local improvements.

The reserves for depreciation, and the acquired equity in the Hydro-Electric
Power Commission system, are also listed separately and totalled; and under
the heading "Surplus" is included not only the free operating profit but the
accumulation of sinking fund applicable to debenture debt and also the amount
of debentures already retired out of revenue which properly belong under this
heading.

The Depreciation Reserve now amounts to 23.6 per cent of the total de-
preciable plant, while the Depreciation Reserve and Surplus combined have
already reached a sum approximating 43.6 per cent of the total plant cost.

"Statement B" is a consolidated condensed operating report, showing
the essential figures of each municipal system's operation in such a manner as
to facilitate a ready comparison of the various results. The population served
by each system, as well as the number of customers and the load taken in
December, 1922, are also shown in order to give an idea of the relative sizes of
the respective utilities.

294 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

Of the 214 municipalities included in this report, a total of 24 failed to meet
their actual cost of operation without regard to depreciation. A total of 42,
including the above, failed to provide full theoretical depreciation in addition
to all operating and maintenance expenses, but their relative unimportance
is clearly disclosed by an examination of the reports. These 42 municipalities
indicate a total theoretical loss of $135,004.40, while the remaining 172 muni-
cipalities piled up a surplus of $830,341.70, thus leaving a net surplus from all
Hydro municipalities of $695,337.30 during the year.

* 'Statement C" shows comparative detailed operating reports for each
utility for 1921 and 1922 where the operation has been for two years and for
1922 only where the service was inaugurated during that year. The cost of
power includes the adjustment made by this Commission and hence covers the
actual cost and not the cost at the interim billed rates.

"Statement D," in many respects, is the most interesting report in the
series. It gives more information respecting the actual results of operation
from the viewpoint of the consumer than is obtainable from the published reports
of any other, system of electric utilities regardless of where operated or whether
publicly or privately owned.

This "Statement D" shows the revenue, kilowatt-hour consumption, number
of consumers, average monthly consumption, average monthly bill and the net
average cost per kilowatt-hour both for domestic and for commercial service
in each municipality since "Hydro" was first installed. For comparative pur-
poses the rates in effect prior to the installation of "Hydro" are also indicated.
The average flat-rate cost of horsepower as billed to power customers since 1917
is also shown.

In many municipalities the average monthly bill has increased during the
past two years. This is due to the steady increase in the use of better lighting,
and the general installation of ranges, heaters and miscellaneous appliances.
It is estimated that over 26,000 electric ranges are now in use and the number
is increasing at a rate of over 1,000 per month. In practically all municipalities
the cost per kilowatt-hour has been steadily declining, due to the constantly
increasing use of electric appliances, the adoption of a uniform follow-up rate
of 2 cents for domestic and farm service throughout the province, and the con-
quently large number of kilowatt-hours consumed at the lower rate.

"Statement E" shows the installation of street lights in each municipality
together with the rates set by this Commission, the revenue for 1922 and the
cost per capita in each municipality.

"Statement F" and "Statement G" present the local rates in use by
each utility and also those charged by the Commission on the interim power bills.

The automatic reduction in the debenture debt, due to the annual principal
or sinking fund payments being provided for out of revenue, and the remarkable
accummulation of assets reflect the satisfactory financial condition of the
Hydro utilities generally. The following tabular statements show in condensed
form the relation of assets to liabilities in fifty municipalities. In the first
eighteen municipalities the quick assets such as cash, bonds, accounts receivable
and inventories exceed in value the total liabilities, including the debenture
balance, and they may fairly be considered as being out of debt. In the re-
maining thirty-two municipalities the excess of liabilities over the quick assets
is relatively so small that a number of them will be transferred to the "out-of-
debt" list when the books are closed at the end of 1923.

A study of these various reports will clearly show that Hydro business in
general and that of Hydro municipalities in particular are in a most satisfactory

economic policies of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario which
cannot intelligently and satisfactorily be met with direct appeal to the official
figures in the balance sheets and operating reports herein presented.

Financial Statements Combining the Hydro-Electric Power Commission's

378 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION BALANCE
SHEET OF THE MUNICIPALITIES OF THE
NIAGARA SYSTEM, DECEMBER 31, 1922

The Commission submits herewith a statement of the Niagara system's
assets, liabilities, reserves and surpluses reflecting the operations of the Hydro-
Electric Power Commission of Ontario and the municipalities since the com-
mencement of operation to December 31, 1922.

Explanation of the Various Columns of the Balance Sheet

Column 1- — Gives the names of the municipalities now under contract with
the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario for a supply of electrical
energy generated at Niagara Falls, and the dates upon which each municipality
commenced to receive this supply of power.

Column 2 — Gives the average electrical horsepower delivered to each muni-
cipality by the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario during the year.

ASSETS

Column 3 — Shows the cost of the plant of the Hydro-Electric Power
Commission of Ontario as annually adjusted and apportioned to each municip-
ality having a contract with the Commission and receiving power from the sys-
tem during the year. The whole plant is owned and operated by the Commis-
sion. It comprises the generating equipment — including the Ontario Power
Company's plant at Niagara Falls purchased by the Commission in 1917 — also
the transformer stations and transmission lines necessary to transform the power
and transmit it to the municipalities supplied from the Niagara system. This
plant is administered, operated and maintained by the Hydro-Electric Power
Commission for the contracting municipalities by means of revenue derived
from the sale, on the basis of COST, of electrical energy to the municipalities
and to sundry other customers.

Column 4 — Gives the cost of plants within the boundaries of the respec-
tive municipalities. These plants are financed, operated and maintained by the
municipalities from the revenue derived from the utilities' customers.

Column 5 — Shows the bank balance and investment of surplus funds in
Government and other authorized securities and investments made by each
municipal Hydro-electric utility.

Column 6 — Gives sinking funds, in respect of local plant on deposit with
municipal treasurers; sinking funds in respect of Commission's plant on deposit
with Commission and invested in provincial securities, also municipal accounts
receivable and inventories, together with the sum of $2,475,421.02 on deposit
with the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario for the purpose of renew-
ing its stations and lines.

Note. — Among other charges, the cost of power to the Commission as
charged to municipalities includes an annual levy (after the five-year exemption
period according to the Power Commission Act) for sinking fund for the specific
purpose of liquidating the Commission's debt to the Provincial Government,
and also includes a renewals reserve fund for the replacement of transforming
and transmitting equipment. These accumulations represent a municipal
equity in present and future plants and therefore the sum of both these funds
is reflected as an asset.

1923 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 379

Column 7 — Totals columns 3, 4, 5 and 6 and shows the total investment
of each municipality in the Niagara system.

LIABILITIES

Column 8 — Gives the municipalities' liability in respect to the Hydro-
Electric Power Commission's plants. The total of this column represents the
sum invested by the Commission in stations, lines and generating plants, (see
column 3) which sum is being repaid by the contracting municipalities by
deposits to the Commission's sinking fund collected in the cost of power. These
sinking funds, in accordance with the Power Commission Act, are invested in
provincial securities.

Column 9 — Shows the municipal debenture debt in respect of Hydro
municipal plants within the municipal boundaries. This debt is created by the
issuance of municipal serial or sinking fund debentures, which, in the majority
of cases, are redeemable in twenty years.

Column 10 — Gives the municipal accounts payable and other liabilities
of the municipalities, also the current liability respecting the Ontario Power
Company's generating plant at Niagara Falls.

Column 11 — Gives the total debt of each municipality in respect of local
plants, the Commission's stations and lines, and also of the Ontario Power
Company of Niagara Falls.

RESERVES

Column 12 — Shows the reserves arising from sinking fund payments and
municipal debenture retirals in respect of local plants and the Hydro Commis-

386 FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 49

HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION BALANCE SHEETS OF

THE MUNICIPALITIES OF THE SEVERN, EUGENIA,

WASDELLS, MUSKOKA, ST. LAWRENCE AND

RIDEAU SYSTEMS, DECEMBER 31, 1922

The Commission submits herewith statements of the Severn, Eugenia,
Wasdells, Muskoka, St. Lawrence and Rideau systems' assets, liabilities, re-
serves and surpluses reflecting the operations of the Hydro-Electric Power
Commission of Ontario and the municipalities since the commencement of
operation to December 31, 1922.

Explanation of the Various Columns of the Balance Sheets

Column 1 — Gives the names of the municipalities now under contract
with the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario for a supply of electrical
energy and the dates upon which each municipality commenced to receive this
supply of power.

Column 2 — Gives the average electrical horsepower delivered to each
municipality by the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario during the
year.

ASSETS

Column 3 — Shows the cost of the plant of the Hydro-Electric Power
Commission of Ontario as annually adjusted and apportioned to each muni-
cipality having a contract with the Commission and receiving power from the
systems during the year. These plants are owned and operated by the Com-
mission. They comprise the generating equipment, the transformer stations
and transmission lines necessary to transform the power and transmit it to the
municipalities, and are administered, operated and maintained by the Hydro-
Electric Power Commission for the contracting municipalities by means of
revenue derived from the sale, on the basis of COST, of electrical energy to the
municipalities and to sundry other customers.

Column 4 — Gives the cost of plants within the boundaries of the respective
municipalities. These plants are financed, operated and maintained by the
municipalities from the revenue derived from the utilities' customers.

Column 5 — Shows the bank balance and investment of surplus funds in
Government and other authorized securities and investments made by each
municipal Hydro-electric utility.

Column 6 — Gives sinking funds, in respect of local plants on deposit with
municipal treasurers; sinking funds in respect of Commission's plant on deposit
with Commission and invested in provincial securities, also municipal accounts
receivable and inventories, together with the sum of $462,106.58 on deposit
with the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario for the purpose of re-
newing its stations and lines.

Note: — Amongst other charges, the cost of power to the Commission as
charged to municipalities includes an annual levy (after the five-year exemption
period according to the Power Commission Act) for sinking fund for the specific
purpose of liquidating the Commission's debt to the Provincial Government,

1923 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 387

and also includes a renewals reserve fund for the replacement of transforming
and transmitting equipment. These accumulations represent a municipal
equity in present and future plants and therefore the sum of both these funds
is reflected as an asset.

Column 7 — Totals columns 3, 4, 5 and 6 and shows the total investment
of each municipality.

LIABILITIES

Column 8 — Gives the municipalities' liability in respect to the Hydro -
Electric Power Commission's plants. The total of this column represents the.
sum invested by the Commission in stations, lines and generating plants (see
column 3), which sum is being repaid by the contracting municipalities by
deposits to the Commission's sinking fund collected in the cost of power. These
sinking funds in accordance with the Power Commission Act, are invested in
provincial securities.

Column 10 — Gives the municipal accounts payable and other liabilities
of the municipalities.

Column 11 — Gives the total debt of each municipality in respect of local
plants, the Commission's stations and lines.

RESERVES

Column 12 — Shows the reserves arising from sinking fund payments and
municipal debenture retirals in respect of local plants and the Hydro Com-
mission's stations and lines.

Note: — The cost of power to the Commission as charged to municipalities
includes, amongst other charges, an annual levy (after the five-year exemption
period provided for in the Power Commission Act) for sinking fund for the
purpose of liquidating the Hydro-Electric Power Commission's debt to the
Provincial Government. The totals of the sums so paid in accordance with
provisions of the Act, are invested in provincial securities.

Column 13 — Shows reserve fund provided by the municipalities for renew-
ing local plants and Commission's stations and lines, (see column 6).

Note: — The cost of power to the Commission as charged to municipalities
includes, amongst other charges, an annual levy in respect of a renewals fund for
the specific purpose of replacing development plants, transforming and trans-
mitting equipment.

SURPLUS

Column 14 — Shows, the sum which municipal Hydro utilities have ac-
cumulated after having met or having made provision to meet every expense
on account of interest, operation and maintenance, and after meeting all deben-
ture payments, sinking fund, renewal and contingency charges for both local
systems as well as for the provincial Hydro properties at present in operation.

Column 15 — Totals reserves and surpluses as given in columns 12, 13
and 14.
